Real-time Fortran Visualization Programming

     Things you must know if you are thinking about visualizing and animating your simulations in Fortran environment within 5 minutes.

      MATFOR, an advanced visualization toolkit built on Fortran environment is specially designed for programmers in scientific computing field. If you want to produce some high quality 2D/3D visualization or movie-presentation, and don¡¦t want to waste your time on post-processing, MATFOR is your best choice.

       By adding a few lines of MATFOR codes to your Fortran program, you can easily visualize your computing results, perform run-time animations, or even produce a movie presentation file as you execute your program. MATFOR provides a user-friendly and simple environment for implementation without going into the trouble of Windows programming. No previous Windows or graphics initialization is needed. Example I  illustrates how the mesh plot procedure is embedded in Fortran program.

Example 1: Mesh plot embedded in Fortran program.

The right hand figure is the plotting result and the general steps of producing a mesh plot.

Step 1: Add use fgl under your program name
           (or module name, procedure name)
                    use fgl
Step 2: Create your data for plotting
Step 3: Convert Fortran variable to mfArray data
           type, and call function to create a graph
                    call msMesh(mf(z))
Step 4: Use msViewPause  to pause program
                    call msViewPause()
Step 5: Simply compile and run your program!

In this case, you only need 5 steps to create a visualization. Don't you want to visualize your Fortran data in this way too?
