Scientific visualization morning session

1. Instructor / helpers / course introduction
2. The slides for this course (slides1.pdf and slides2.pdf) are included into the main ZIP file (~20 MB) along with sample datasets and various scripts; in case of problems, check this temporary mirror
3. Right now we are running SciVis Contest 2021 – deadline for submissions is the end of July
4. Let’s try to start ParaView on your computer
5. Review the program for this morning: you have 1h43m of videos to watch!
   • slides1.pdf covers today’s morning topics
   • side materials: simple 1D/2D plotting with Matplotlib (covered in our Python course) and Plotly (notes linked from this course)
   • today’s focus is 3D visualization with ParaView
6. Pay attention to the slides that say “Exercise” in the title – we’ll do these in the next Zoom session

By mid-day you should be comfortable with:

• running ParaView and displaying Source objects
• importing datasets from files into ParaView
• applying filters to process data

If you have your own spatially-defined dataset, try loading it into ParaView and sharing your experience (or visualizations!) in the mid-day session.
