IRIS Explorer Training IRIS Explorer training courses will be undertaken at NAG Ltd's Oxford offices and also at Manchester Visualisation Centre. The second course, which will be run on 29th and 30th April 1997, is free for UK academics. See the IRIS Explorer web site (External) for more details.
Contours of potential energy in the space between three atoms, displayed using IRIS Explorer 3.5. The dataset is read in as a lattice, and converted to a pyramid using the LatToPyr module. The pyramid is sliced using the ClipPyr module, and passed to PyrToGeom, which creates the solid contours. The new NAGAxis module adds the axes and the NAGText (new in 3.5) adds the caption, including subscripts, superscripts and in-line font changes. Image

STABLE Project

The STABLE project to develop an advanced statistical application building system based on IRIS Explorer has been approved and started on 1st January 1997. This is a two year European Union gunded activity involving partners in the UK, France and Spain. More details can be found on our website (External).

Web Site

Please note, after a year's warning NAG hyas turned off the web server on prt 70 so addresses such as http://www.nag.co.uk:70 will no longer work. If you have bookmarks like this please remove the :70. Gopher services are no longer provided.
Using LatToGeom in IRIS Explorer 3.5 to create a surface with solid contours from height data. The same data is used to generate the contour plot above the surface. The labels come from the new version of the Annotation module, which now contains a wider variety of options for creating, editing, moving and deleting annotation objects (labels or arrows). Note that the precise placing of the labels in this landscape may not be entirely correct. Image

Exhibitions

You can see IRIS Explorer in action at any exhibition where NAG has a stand. In particular look out for us at CeBIT '97, SIGGRAPH '97 and Visualisation '97.
