Dataview is a 3D data display tool, using QT 3.x and OpenGL. It was primarily designed but not limited to displaying or animating simulation data from the field of Computational Physics. It is suitable for every kind of csv Data Files, what means, that you can display everithing which consists of an undetermined nummer of lines each containing 3 floating point numbers seperated by whatever seperator you like, except numbers (0-9), a comma (.), a minus (-) or the hash mark which is reserved for comment lines. even (!"§+_=\) would be an apropriate delimiter, as long as the delimiter doesn't change within the file. The 3D features include scrolling, rotating or moving the reference point freely in all three dimensions.

It also includes a replay function for animating data like e.g. particle simulations. Screenshots of Dataview in action can be found here and here.

The latest stable copy of DataView is available as source code (GPL) or Redhat 8 rpm. Or you can get a snapshot form our svn server.

You can also get two example datafiles for static/animated display here.
