Cassandra is a VTK/Java based 3D Scientific Data Viewer.
Cassandra is a modular and advanced 3D scientific data viewer. Cassandra is written in Java and based on the Visualisation Tool Kit, VTK. Like in OpenDX, Cassandra includes a graphical visualisation pipeline editor based on the DedalEgraph library.
Data processings are performed through an extensive set of dynamical and independent plug-ins. Cassandra already provides several processing filters such as cutting functions, isolevels and data threshold.
Plug-ins can be any kind of data processing such as import/export module or VTK pipeline definition. Cassandra is actually a VTK framework providing the common features on generic VTK objects and simplifies the creation of processing filters. The existing filters are automatically loaded at the runtime.
This feature allows a wide flexibility in the definition of filters and provides a highly customisable generic VTK viewer. It should also simplify the learning curve of the VTK library by non-specialists.
An advanced Python/Jython console, JyConsole, completes the system and allows quick prototyping possibilites and the direct manipulation of all objects used in the system, independently of their initial language (C++/Java/Python). JyConsole includes an object oriented completion.
Requirements:
Java 1.4.2 or later
What's New in This Release:
The latest version of JyConsole was integrated, which supports JVM 1.5 on Linux.
New plugins were integrated, such as bounding box/axes, clipping, and much more.
