difference between ParaView and VTK is that ParaView is an end user tool whereas
VTK is a library that contains many visualization algorithms. Applications
like ParaView are built on top of VTK. If you want to do research with
ParaView, you will probably need to learn VTK quite well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Thanks again for the information. How about VTK, we could use that as our tool

your interest is that of time-based visualization. A feature that is
unique to ParaView/VTK is the support of time requests in the visualization
pipeline. It's a new technology that I am particularly happy with.
We recently published a paper at the IEEE Vis conference that summarizes the
implementation.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Me and my
team members are pursuing our postgraduate degree. We will have to develope a
project as part of our dissertation thesis. My team members and I managed to
visualize the data given to us – the first phase using VTK.We would be moving
to the second phase in which we need to parallelize the visualization process.
We will be using paraview and building it on our cluster. I was just wondering,
in which part can we focus on our research, it has be about parallel processing
of visualization and that also using ParaView. Paraview seems to be able to do
a lot of things, but we, as students need to develop some kind of algorithms or
some kinda framework or some new methodology. Or maybe some kinda parallel
plugin, readers .<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We are
hoping by posting this question in mailing list, we would get some good
response about how we can go about on our parallel processing and which area we
can focus on. We are doing our literature review, but we are still unsure and
we don't have any parallel visualization group in our university, we are the
pioneers. We hope someone can help.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
