I strongly encourage you to learn Ruby. I started it because of Tioga, and it changed my programmer's life ;-) ! By: Nobody RE: 3D features [ reply ]   2006-11-17 15:16 I have two 2D scalar fields defined in the same domain. I want to show `altitude' of one field with color (I call it colormap), and `altitude' of another field with isolines. At this moment I may do it in OpenDX (unfortunately, I cannot get a vector-quality graphics with it, it better suits for 3D data). Another option is Gri, which produces quite nice graphics in EPS, but its ability to draw color maps is limited with wrong color selection for almost flat parts of the domain. According to Gri developers, it is limitation of its current rendering engine. As well as I have seen in the tutorial, the latest Tioga is capable of doing what I want. So I have a good reason to start learning ruby. If I manage to make a script for this, I shall give it to you. Thank you! By: Vincent Fourmond RE: 3D features [ reply ]   2006-11-15 15:41 If I understand right, you want contour graphs and false color graphs for 3D data ? You would want for instance a color map of, say, the altitude of different points on a 2D map ? I haven't worked much on the 3D backends for now, although it shouldn't be too much trouble. The plotting engine for now doesn't support at all 3D plots. That shouldn't be too difficult to do, although I need to think a little about the architecture. For now, ctioga is undergoing an internal transition; I'm grateful you're rising the problems now, before the transition is over. But that gave me some ideas. If you could provide the Tioga script you want to 'convert' to ctioga, I can manage the integration, although I can't guarantee it will be done quickly ;-) !

Thank you for ctioga! I tried it and find quite convenient and useful. I wish it to be developed further. At this moment I am starting studying tioga itself, because I find it quite attractive. But I find it too "low level" for efficient everyday use. Ctioga like a frontend seems to be a good approach. I would like to know how difficult it is to implement different types of graphs in ctioga. In particular I am looking towards contour graphs and false color graphs for 2D data. So, let's say how much work is to be done to transform a tioga-script to ctioga feature?
