About InteractivePlots, Scientific VisualizationThe site "Scientific Visualization" contains a collection of dynamic web pages for Interactive Plots of functions, data and other objects. Every page of the site is equipped with a number of general and specific options that control the image and could be dynamically selected by the users. Additionally, the users have the opportunity for saving the generated plot on their client computers for a subsequent use in a specified graphics file format. Presently, the generated graphics objects are available for download in 12 different and most popular graphics file formats that can be easily included in other client documents. Special tutorials, overviews, summaries, and state-of-the-art reports about various aspects of scientific visualization supplement the interactive plots. All graphics are calculated and rendered by the powerful graphics features of Mathematica. The technology empowering the Interactive Plots is built upon webMathematica, an innovative new product of Wolfram Research that allows Mathematica to run on the server to provide the necessary calculations and graphs. The site is designed to be easy, straightforward, efficient, and also expandable as more material becomes available. No prior knowledge of Mathematica is required to take advantage of the resorces on the site. The latter are usable absolutely effortless and free:
In its current form, this site is the result of one year of work within the frames of the project IS-03/2003 "Web-Based Computations and Visualization" supported by the Bulgarian National Science Fund. The site will continue to grow and expand through time. Future updates include more general purpose 2D and 3D plots of functions and data, and more visualization facilities for specific objects. Static demo pages will illustrate how to use more efficiently the various available graphics options. Opportunities for uploading large client data files will be also provided. |
