Other Binaries for Added Functionality

dxconvert - An application to convert some different data sets to navive dx format.

font2dx - A script with the assistance of three open-source products that can convert most fonts to a dx formatted font. If you need that specific font for inclusion in your visualization. Convert it and incorporate it directly.

There are other packages that can increase the functionality of OpenDX. We provide a download area for some of these, such as ImageMagick.

You may also need to install Motif. Open Motif is now available for open source operating systems for free. You can download them from the MotifZone.
