[vtkusers] ANNOUNCE: rpd2.0.0.b1 available for download

[David.Pont at ForestResearch.co.nz]

  yes RPD looks very cool. I had a quick play, and it looks like you have
got all the key elements, plus some good features, notably 2D mode,  but
also several other nice touches. I will send you a list of observations
directly but for others on the list: it is well worth the download and can
certainly do real work already.

  keep it up
     Dave P.

Skipping Mouse Software is pleased to announce the release of
RPD (Rapid Pipeline Design) 2.0.0.1 beta (Personal Edition).

www.skippingmouse.co.uk contains some information. Updates to the web site
will be made quite soon. (NB the download link on the page is incorrect and
will be fixed).

The correct link to the windows installer of rpd is
http://www.visual-technologies.co.uk/rpd/setup_rpd2.0.0.1.exe (11MB). Many
thanks to Visual Technology Services Ltd. for lending me the space to place
this file. If anyone else would like to provide a fast mirror of this file,
then please let me know.

I'd be very grateful for any feedback regarding rpd, both positive and
negative. I am aware that many bugs still exist in rpd and there are many
features that are not finished, however rpd can be used for many complex
visualizations.

Some demos are included, many more will be added in future releases. I have
included a number of classes which form my "Propagation Toolkit" they are
compiled into vtkPropagation and also vtkCustom dll's. At some point these
will be separated out as "Add-ons" to rpd.  If you are interested in these
classes, then have a look at the propagation links on the SkippingMouse web
site (also under construction) - a windows help file with the class details
is linked there.

Features which are soon to be added are
Good volume Rendering transfer function editor
Expand collapse of sub-pipeline with editing facilities
Many bug fixes to screen layout
Fixes to 2D actors especially text layout
TCL scripting widget
More Demos

Yours

John Biddiscombe
