The user can view color planar images, color volume renderings of the data, or spreadsheets of the actual data values. AmrVis can visualize single rectangular arrays of data, or it can visualize data defined on unions of rectangles upon multiple levels of refinement. With AMR algorithms, it is common to have more detail in the calculation than can be shown on a display screen. Therefore AmrVis allows the user to subregion the data and zoom in on a region of particular interest. AmrVis can animate time sequences of AMR data.
Color images can be output in several formats, including postscript.
The plot files generated by the applications above are specifically designed to be read by AmrVis . General purpose visualization tools do not, in general, understand AMR data formats. While AMR PDE solvers can output data interpolated to a single fine grid as required for most visualization tools, this greatly increases the data volume. When configured for use with the Stanford volume rendering library, VolPack , AmrVis can be used to construct interactive volume renderings of 3D adaptive datasets. AmrDerive AmrDerive is a data extraction and analysis tool for the type of AMR data sets created by this software.
