STARSpace Time Adaptive-Resolution Data SupportOur ResearchWe are currently researching multi and adaptive resolution data models to support scientists who visualize very large datasets. We are actively developing tools to support this goal. About STAR toolsSTARgenSTARgen is a set of C-Shell scripts and C programs that take as input a 3D time series dataset, and generate as output a directory tree containing the time steps at lower spatial resolutions. STARgen uses Haar or Daubechies wavelet algorithms to decimate the data. VisIt PluginsThe VisIt Plugins are written in C++ and are designed to integrate our multiresolution data (the output of STARgen) with the The first plugin, called StarTsdPlugin, is a Database plugin that works with ".tsd" files. The .tsd file generated by STARgen is a metadata file describing the multiresolution directory tree that was generated. The second plugin, called MultiresControl, is an Operator plugin that allows the user to change the resolution dynamically in VisIt.
