  OpenDX www.opendx.org My choice... You don't have to limit what you visualize 
with it. This thing is just plain amazing. Matlab {amongst others {Scilab} can 
do file conversions for you {take a look at h5 for conversions... maybe Cactus 
if you really decide to get into it...}

  Mayavi {If you're into Python...}

  Grass {I've not used it in years... It was excellent in the late '9os though 
and it looks like it's gotten "popular".}

{maybe vxl... It's a language for "computer vision" ....I'm just setting it 
up. I'm not quite sure what functionality it might add to your system {s}. 
...It looks as though it's got potential though. There *is* a lot of stuff 
here: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/cil/ftp/html/vision.html {One of 
my favorite web pages. :}} Don't blame me if you download it and it's useless. 
It *seems* really similar to:

VTK/ITK

{Do take a look at what they're doing with some of their projects.}

  Oh... thanks for the hint about the above... I was at the page the other 
night and decided I didn't have time to mess with it... after reading a bit 
more it looks as though it could be excellent though....
