I have been asked to build Vis5D+ on our AIX 5.1 system, and I'm not having any luck with it. The configure script right away told me I needed to install Mesa, so I tried to build this with no luck (I need to write the Mesa email list for info on this). I found a precompiled Mesa library for AIX 5.1, so I downloaded this instead. But, the Vis5D README files didn't indicate where the Mesa libraries needed to reside. It looks like it's just doing a "-lGLU ..." and hoping that they reside in a standard location, like /usr/lib. Also, it didn't indicate if you somehow need to work around the issue of the proper names for the Mesa libraries (-lMesaGL or -lGL), but I assume it just tries both. Anyway, I modified the configure script and forced a "-L/.../..." in front of the Mesa library (-lGL) so it would find it. It still didn't get very far. Here's the pertinent part from the config.log file: configure:14725: cc -o conftest -O3 -w conftest.c -L/fs/scd/home1/ncargd/test/local/src/vis5d+-1.3.0-beta/lib -lGL -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lm >&5 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_self ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_key_create ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_getspecific ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_setspecific ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information. Lastly, the README files don't indicate if this should all be happening in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. I'm doing 32-bit mode right now (setenv OBJECT_MODE 32) because that's what the precompiled Mesa libraries were available in. Has anybody had luck with building Vis5D+ under AIX, and if so, would they be willing to impart their wisdom on this subject? Many thanks, --Mary Haley ha...@uc...
Hi, displaying my geological data with vis5d works fine, but sometimes I have the requirement to display a single point or one or more vectors (e.g. a drill hole or probe point etc.) in the 3D window. Is there a chance to do that with vis5d? Thanks, Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------ Dipl.-Ing.

Dr Hibbard, Hi, I'm Gordon Brooks from the Air Force Weather Agency...you may remember me from awhile back. I wonder if you could give me some specifications regarding the workstation power required to view BIG vis5d files. Certain ones reach about 2.4 GB...and certainly Sun Ultra 2's can't take them on. I was hoping you could give me an idea what would MINIMALLY be required and what would OPTIMALLY be required. Thank you very much, Gordon Gor...@af...

For optimal performance, you need a machine with 2 or 3 times as much memory as your file size, plus comensurate processor and graphics speed. For a 2.4 GB file, this also means a 64-bit architecture and OS. For minimal performance, you may be able to get away with 1 GB of memory. However, the standard versions of Vis5D may have trouble with a 2.4 GB file. I'm afraid I don't have any personal experience running Vis5D with such large files. But the NCAR folks on this list do, so hopefully they can give you some more practical advice. I think they have a special version of Vis5D for 64-bit architecture and files (i.e., files longer than 2 GB). I don't know if their big data support is built into the current Vis5d+, or if you have to obtain it from NCAR. Good luck. Cheers, Bill
Hi there, I would like to set up my linux box to run vis5d (or vis5d+) in stereo mode. Could any one out there tell me how to configure the X11 display of my linux box (details are shown below)? OS: RedHat 8.0 Graphics adaptor: nivdia Quadro4 Monitor: CRT monitor with a pair of 3D shutter glasses connected Thank you very much. Regards, Lam.

You should be abel to read the files on Linux without any changes. Make sure to add '-DLITTLE' to CFLAGS in foo_to_v5d.c.m, if you convert any data to .v5d files on Linux. Good luck, Bill
We have several vis5d files on Sun Solaris and SGI Irix. We want to port these to Linux on Intel. Will we have to somehow convert the vis5d files so that vis5d on Linux/intel can read them? Will appreciate any info on the subject. Thanks. -Choo K.
Hello, Where can I get PC version Vis5D, which can run in Window9X, or Windows 2000, or WindowXP? Thanks very much, han

Hi, I am trying to install Vis5d IN WINDOWS. I am trying to install it in Cygwin. Is there any other way to do it? Any body has any idea? I have no idea how to start. Thanks. Best regards, Zhe Chen
Hi , Sorry for mass-mailing this basic enquiry on this list, as I hope to get more details from anyone of you in the mailing list. Can Vis5D be successfully built on a Pentium PC running on Win98/XP OS without any 3D Graphics Card? If yes, appreciate if you could kindly share your experience on the essential requirements. Any comments are appreciated. Much thanks, -Arthur Maritime Research Centre, Nanyang Technological University Singapore.
Vaidya, Some background: Out-of-the box, vis5d does not support files which are > 2 GB in a 32 bit operating system with 32 bit integers. Some operating system/compiler combinations can make "int" be 64 bits and it will work fine, but I could not find a way to tell gcc on Linux to treat ints as 64 bits. The v5dstruct structure has the following integers which are used to navigate through a vis5d file: int CurPos; /* current position of file pointer */ int FirstGridPos; /* position of first grid in file */ int GridSize[MAXVARS]; /* size of each grid */ int SumGridSizes; /* sum of GridSize[0..NumVars-1] */ When the size of the vis5d file exceeds 2^31 bytes (2 GB), there is an overflow in CurPos and probably SumGridSizes. I found this out while trying to write a large vis5d file. My patch does the following: changes "int" to "int64_t" in variables which refer to positioning within a vis5d file. How to compile using my patch: Take the patch which was attached to the file you quoted and put it in the src directory. Type patch < patch64 and it will modify some files. You must then set the following envrinment variables which will be passed to gcc during compilation. If you are using the bash shell the command is: export CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" If you are in some csh derivative it's setenv CFLAGS "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" Then, type configure and make. You can then link with v5d.o and binio.o in your program which creates vis5d files if you want to create > 2 GB files, and of course the vis5d binary you created can read them. I'm pretty sure that the vis5d binary that you create using my method will be able to read vis5d files which are made using the default source code, but I can't be 100% sure. I know it doesn't work the other way around! What will happen if you run the default vis5d with one of my large files is once you get 2 GB into the file all the isosurfaces and contours get all messed up. I have sent my patch to the vis5d list but I don't think there is any development going on right now. There may be a "better way" to make vis5d work with these large files, but I think my way is sound. Incidentally, just to make sure, you have to be using a filesystem that supports > 2 GB files, such as ext3 or reiserfs... ext2 does not. Most modern Linux distros come with these filesystems, and I would strongly recommend that you use either on on all of your main partitoins.

Dear vis5d users,
Hello, I am a research engineer in Japan.
I use Vis5d and have a question about vis5d scripting.
I want to use the following command.
----------------------------------------------------------
vis5d_get_time_stamp context timestep
Returns the date and time associated with the given timestep as a list of two elements:
{YYDDD HHMMSS}. Timestep 0 is the first timestep.
----------------------------------------------------------
But, when I use it, date and time is output in the following style.
day - date of the timestep in days since 1/1/1900
time - time of the timestep in seconds since midnight
How should I do to output [YYDDD HHMMSS] ?
And is it possible to output [YY], [DDD], and [HHMMSS] individually ?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Tomohiro Hara

Hello, We installed vis5d 5.2 on sun and it's running but I have a problem. Suppose I run vis5d with 2 data sets: dataset1 and dataset2. I have 2 dispaly windows open and could plot any variables from each data set on corresponding display. If I try to assign dataset2 to display1, where dataset1 already assigned, and try to plot dataset2 on display1 I have an error message "Segmentation fault". It's happend only if I try to plot dataset2 on display1. Dataset1 plotted OK on dispaly1 when both datasets assigned to dispaly1. What would you suggest in this case? Sincerely, Irene

Irene Just FYI. I've had similar problems with vis5d+ and reverted to 5.2. I did some experiments and found that Hummingbird Exceed 7.0 (PC X server) can handle vis5d+ but not X-Win32 5.4. X-Win32 5.4 could display vis5d-5.2.

This probably depends on Vis5D version and machine configuration. Try Vis5d+ if you are not already. Bill
Hello Bill, Pressing SAVE button on control panel always cause segmentation fault, so I can't save my setting in vis5d. Is it a known bug which might be already fixed? What would you suggest in this case? Sincerely, Irene

Well, relatively cheap... See http://www.evl.uic.edu/cavern/agave/vis5d for a description of how to get vis5d to work with a GeoWall ( http://www.geowall.org ) which is sort of like an immersadesk only using off-the-shelf hardware. I will be building a GeoWall this summer at Central Michigan University and expect to use vis5d as a teaching tool in the classroom. Students get to weare nerdy goggles, that ought to be a plus. Seriously, this is something that I think some of you may find worth checking out. You can build a GeoWall, which consists of two data projectors, a computer with a certain kind of graphics card, and a special projection screen that preserves polarization, for around 10,000ドル. I have not yet seen one of these in action but I am told the stereo effect is on line with the stereo IMAX movies, and uses the same basic technology.
