Bug#259427: RFP: simvoleon -- SIM Voleon is a software development system for writing 3D graphics application containing so-called "volumetric data", as is often used in applications targeted at analysis tasks within the oil & gas industry (e.g. from seismic measurements), in medical imaging (for data generated by e.g. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Computer Tomography, or ultrasound equipment), and for many other purposes.

  Description     : SIM Voleon is a software development system for writing 3D 
graphics application containing so-called "volumetric data", as is often used 
in applications targeted at analysis tasks within the oil & gas industry 
(e.g. from seismic measurements), in medical imaging (for data generated by 
e.g. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Computer Tomography, or ultrasound 
equipment), and for many other purposes.

SIM Voleon is a software development system for aiding in writing 3D
graphics application containing so-called "volumetric data", as is often
used in applications targeted at analysis tasks within the oil & gas
industry (e.g. from seismic measurements), in medical imaging (for data
generated by e.g. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Computer Tomography, or
ultrasound equipment), and for many other purposes.

SIM Voleon is an add-on library to Systems in Motion's visualization
platform technology, known as "Coin". Coin is a high-level 3D graphics
library with a C++ Application Programming Interface. Its target
audience is developers of 3D graphics applications worldwide.

The library has the following major features:

    * It is fully portable over the full range of platforms also supported by 
the Coin library, including all versions of Microsoft Windows, Apple's 
Macintosh OS X, Linux, Sun Solaris, SGI IRIX, and most other UNIX variants.

    * Integrates smoothly with traditional polygonal 3D data visualization 
from the Coin library, in a manner which is effortless for the application 
programmer.

    * Provides interaction possibilities for direct queries in the 3D scene on 
the volumetric data.

    * Volumes are visualized by using functionality which is assisted by 
dedicated 3D hardware on most modern graphics cards, namely 2D texture 
mapping.

    * Higher quality and better performance visualization is automatically 
done on graphics card which supports hardware assisted 3D texture mapping.
