Introduction to Tutorial for IBM Visualization Data Explorer in the Earth, Space and Environmental Sciences

These programs illustrate examples of the class of data visualizations that can be generated by IBM Visualization Data Explorer for correlative data analysis in the earth and space sciences.

Visualization of CERES Data Products Using IBM Data Explorer (DX)

IBM Visualization Data Explorer (or simply Dx) is a general purpose software package for scientific data visualization and analysis. Dx networks (visualization codes) have been developed for viewing the CERES data products listed below.

Cornell Theory Center Virtual Workshop Module for OpenDX

The Virtual Workshop (VW) is an entirely over-the-network program for studying high performance computing. You work at your own pace from your home machine, with access to CTC materials, machines, and staff. Topics include parallel computing (MPI), performance issues, visualization (OpenDX), and HPF.

Dalhousie Physical Oceanography Tutorial

Although this tutorial was designed for users at Dalhousie Physical Oceanography, it was be useful to other DX users as well.

Using Scientific Visualization

This module introduces concepts of scientific visualization and shows examples of the application of visualization to data. It is intended for an audience which has access to UNIX workstations and who wish to learn how to produce their own visualization material.

The Starlink Data Explorer Cookbook

IBM Data Explorer, DX, is the visualisation package recommended by Starlink, particularly for the visualisation of three-dimensional scalar and vector data. It is a powerful and flexible package capable of generating sophisticated visualisations of complex data. However, a necessary consequence of this complexity is that it is non-trivial to use and it is necessary to invest a certain amount of time to learn to use it effectively. This document is an aid to learning to use DX.

A fast approach to OpenDX

OpenDX is as simple as grace, and you can get your data displayed in seconds only I was extremely frustrated the first time I tried to use it because of the way the documentation was written. Here's a tutorial to help get you started quickly.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute CS Department

This site's primary goal is to give users at WPI a central location to get an introduction to DX, showcase the use of DX on the WPI campus, and to provide a clearinghouse for DX networks.
