VisAD is a Java class library for interactive and collaborative visualization and analysis of numerical data. VisAD uses the features of Java 2, including Java3D and Java2D for visualization, Java RMI for distributed objects, and JNI for links to legacy algorithms (VisAD's analysis and visualization code is pure Java, but it does support JNI connections to users' legacy code in other languages). VisAD is freely available from: http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html including source code, documentation and numerous application examples from Earth science, astronomy and other disciplines. Many of these applications allow users at different workstations to collaborate as if sitting in front of the same workstation. The free distribution includes the VisAD Spread Sheet which provides access to many of VisAD's features without the need to write any applications code. It can access data in netCDF, FITS, HDF-EOS, McIDAS, Vis5D, GIF and JPEG files. It can create interactive displays of these data using either Java3D or Java2D, and supports simple computatons combining multiple files.
