Example 3: Animation and density isosurfaces from a galaxy interaction simulation

This example demonstrates the use of density isosurfaces and simple animation. 60000 points from a Gadget-2 galaxy interaction simulation are smoothed onto a 603-cell cubic mesh using the triangular-shaped cloud smoothing algorithm. The counts in each cell, nijk, are scaled by log10(1+nijk), and then normalized to lie in the range 0-100. The density levels shown are 25% (red) and 65% (yellow). 3000 points from the simulation are plotted. Press the [spacebar] to step through the five frames, revealing the evolution of the merger.
