Key Features and Benefits of S2PLOT
- Provides 3D plotting functions: dramatically increases capacity and options for display of multi-dimensional data;
- Provides a mechanism for navigating the 3D world: drastically improves comprehension of 3D geometry and perception of depth on 2D display devices;
- Is a programming library: can be called from existing and new C, C++ and FORTRAN codes;
- Has a PGPLOT-like interface: many of the functions will look familiar to PGPLOT users;
- Works on GNU/Linux and Apple/OSX: available for the most common workstations and laptops;
- Works on standard monitors: enables users to create and explore 3D geometry at their desktop without requiring expensive hardware;
- Works on advanced displays: if a sterescopic or dome display is available, it can be used with no change to the code;
- Comes with documented sample programs: allowing new users to learn by example;
- Is a binary distribution: no compilation is necessary to install the library or run the sample programs;
- Can save hardcopy output: for production of figures, animations and movies for journals, presentations and websites; and
- Can save geometry files: allowing views to be saved to disk and displayed later without re-running code.
