Future Visualization Developments
First priority: Broaden usage of existing tools
- STARGL only used by a few
- Herb is preparing ‘how to use’ web
Pad monitor development is proceeding with evaluation of new tools
- Open Inventor prototyping in progress (TPC)
- Java, Tcl/Tk prototyping in progress (SVT)
Major visualization development is further off
- Comprehensive event scanning program requires manpower effort not currently available.
- Analysis tools, including visualization, is in job scope of one BNL hire (~50%+). Additional institutional effort required.
- Will monitor external developments and available tools: LHC++, HepVis, WIRED etc.
- ROOT? ROOT based STAR geometry graphics already exists (Valery Fine)
- Tools from other RHIC experiments integrated into STAF?
