  Description     : interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool

VisIt is a free interactive parallel visualization and graphical
analysis tool for viewing scientific data.  Users can quickly generate
visualizations from their data, animate them through time, manipulate
them, and save the resulting images for presentations.  VisIt contains
a rich set of visualization features so that you can view your data in
a variety of ways.  It can be used to visualize scalar and vector
fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured and
unstructured meshes.
VisIt was designed to handle very large data set sizes in the terascale
range and yet can also handle small data sets in the kilobyte range.
