Package simvoleon41-shlibs-2.0.1-1003

From the SIM Voleon web page: SIM Voleon is a software development system for aiding in writing 3D graphics application containing so-called "volumetric data", as is often used in applications targeted at analysis tasks within the oil & gas industry (e.g. from seismic measurements), in medical imaging (for data generated by e.g. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Computer Tomography, or ultrasound equipment), and for many other purposes. SIM Voleon is an add-on library to Systems in Motion's visualization platform technology, known as "Coin". Coin is a high-level 3D graphics library with a C++ Application Programming Interface. Its target audience is developers of 3D graphics applications worldwide. The library has the following major features: It is fully portable over the full range of platforms also supported by the Coin library, including all versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Sun Solaris, SGI IRIX, and most other UNIX variants. Integrates smoothly with traditional polygonal 3D data visualization from the Coin library, in a manner which is effortless for the application programmer. Provides interaction possibilities for direct queries in the 3D scene on the volumetric data through picking support. Volumes are visualized by using functionality which is assisted by dedicated 3D hardware on most modern graphics cards, namely 2D texture mapping. Higher quality and better performance visualization is automatically done on graphics card which supports hardware assisted 3D texture mapping. Color transfer functions can be manipulated in realtime using the EXT_paletted_texture or the ARB_fragment_program OpenGL extension. Maximum Intensity Projection and Sum Intensity Projection is supported through hardware if available.
