    <h1>Carpet Visualisation Tools</h1>
    
    <p>A variety of visualisation tools exist which provide different methods
    to analyse Carpet output data, ranging from simple 1D line plots up
    to advanced 3D animations.
    Here is a collection of such tools which are widely used.
    Carpet users are also encouraged to provide their
    own tools and utility programs for sharing with the community.

    <h2>Visualisation Tools from <a href="http://www.cactuscode.org">CactusCode.org</a></h2>

    The <a href="http://www.cactuscode.org/Visualization/">Cactus Visualisation
    homepage</a> lists a number of packages suitable for
    the visualisation of Cactus output data in various formats:

    <ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.cactuscode.org/Visualization/yGraph">ygraph</a><br>
        an animated, easy client for 1D line plots from CarpetIOASCII data</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.cactuscode.org/Visualization/gnuPlot">gnuplot</a><br>
        a powerful visualization tool for 1D and 2D CarpetIOASCII data</li>
    <li><code>hdf5toascii_slicer</code><br>
        a utility program included in thorn CarpetIOHDF5 which extracts
        2D slices from 3D HDF5 datasets produced by CarpetIOHDF5 and outputs
        them in CarpetIOASCII format (suitable to be processed by gnuplot).
        See the thorn documentation of Carpet/CarpetIOHDF5 for details.
    <li><a href="http://www.cactuscode.org/Visualization/Amira">Amira</a><br>
        an advanced 3D visualization system from the
        <a href="http://www.zib.de">Konrad-Zuse-Institute in Berlin</a> (ZIB)</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.cactuscode.org/Visualization/DataVaultXVS">
         DataVaultXVSutils</a><br>
         a utility package to import CarpetIOHDF5 data
         into xvs and DV, some simple-to-use OpenGL-based visualisation clients
         to plot 1D and 2D slices</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.cactuscode.org/Visualization/openDX">OpenDXutils</a><br>
        a utility package to import CarpetIOHDF5 data into
        <a href="http://www.opendx.org/">OpenDX</a></li>
    </ul>


    <h2><a href="http://www.fis.unipr.it/~gianmario.manca/carpet/carpet.html">
        MatLab Visualisation Tools</a></h2>

    <a href="http://www.fis.unipr.it/~gianmario.manca">Gian Mario Manca</a>
    has kindly made available his scripts to import full 3D CarpetIOHDF5
    output data into MatLab.
