Visualization Software Applications
The Research Computing group offers a wide variety of visualization software applications for researchers on campus. Visualization software allows you to view data in a graphical format. These software applications are provided through the Distributed Computing Infrastructure (DCI) and are available for use on Research Computing servers. Detailed information about tools available through the DCI is available online . Selecting any of the applications below will lead you to a listing of the information provided by the Research Computing Group about that application, including documentation, FAQs, where to find manuals, links to other resources, and more.
The instructions given to run these programs assume familiarity with the Research Computing infrastructure and the UNIX, Linux, Microsoft Windows, or MacOS operating systems, as appropriate.
