TIPSY - Theoretical Image Processing System

Abstract

The developement of TIPSY was motivated by the need to quickly display and analyze the results of cosmological N-body simulations. Most data visualization packages are designed for the display of gridded data, and hence are unsuitable for use with particle data. Therefore, a special package was built that could easily perform the following functions: - Display particle positions (as points), and velocities (as line segments) from an arbitrary viewpoint. - Zoom in to a chosen position. - Color particles to display scalar fields. - Select a subset of the particles for display and analysis. - Follow selected particles from one timestep to another. - Find cumulative properties of a collection of particles.
