Subject: Geomview Questions

Hello. My name is Tim McGuire. I am a student at Carleton University and
am currently working on my Honours project. The parallel lab I work in
needs a visualization tool to display/manipulate vector data. Since the
parallel nodes have limited graphics capabilities we are considering
having a host run a visualization application and accept data from the
remote nodes. The application would display the data and then allow the
user to manipulate it interactively.

I have been looking at Geomview and I have a few questions.

1 - Is it possible to have external modules running on the parallel
nodes, supplying data to geomview running on the host?

2 - If we decide to build the Visualization tool, can we use some of the
source code from Geomview?

3 - Will Geomview run on SparcStation 20 using Xgl?

    thanks
