The ParaView Guide

ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform scientific data analysis and visualization tool that enables analysis and visualization of extremely large datasets. ParaView is both a general purpose, end-user application with a distributed architecture that can be seamlessly leveraged by your desktop or other remote parallel computing resources and an extensible framework with a collection of tools and libraries for various applications including scripting (using Python), web visualization (through ParaViewWeb), or in-situ analysis (with Catalyst). ParaView leverages parallel data processing and rendering to enable interactive visualization for extremely large datasets. It also includes support for large displays including tiled displays and immersive 3D displays with head tracking and wand control capabilities. ParaView also supports scripting and batch processing using Python. Using included Python modules, you can write scripts that can perform almost all the functionality exposed by the interactive application and much more. ParaView is open-source (BSD licensed, commercial software friendly). As with any successful open-source project, ParaView is supported by an active user and developer community. (with Catalyst).
