VisIt is an Open Source, interactive, scalable, visualisation, animation and analysis tool. From Unix, Windows or Mac workstations, users can interactively visualise and analyse data ranging in scale from small (<10 core) desktop-sized projects to large (>1M core) leadership-class computing facility simulation campaigns. Users can quickly generate visualisations, animate them through time, manipulate them with a variety of operators and mathematical expressions, and save the resulting images and animations for presentations. VisIt contains a rich set of visualisation features to enable users to view a wide variety of data including scalar and vector fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured, adaptive and unstructured meshes. Owing to its customise-able plugin design, VisIt is capable of visualising data from over 120 different scientific data formats.
