XMTV is an X/Motif based graphics client/server package that emulates
a frame buffer. It is implemented on top of LAM, a cluster computing
environment for UNIX. It provides an easy to use, low cost
alternative for run-time visualization of computation results.
The XMTV client library can be used by MPI applications under LAM,
from C and Fortran. It provides a simple interface to plot coloured
data frames. The XMTV server can be run on any node in the LAM
multicomputer. The graphics calls locate and direct their requests to
the proper destination.
While the XMTV software should compile properly
with the Lesstif freeware clone of
Motif, this has not been tested at all.
The XMTV API
- lam_tvclr( ) clears the screen.
- lam_tvrect( ) plots a rectangular region of pixels.
- lam_tvsnake( ) plots a snake-like region of pixels.
- lam_tvtext( ) plots a line of ASCII text.
- lam_tvstate( ) gets screen information (size, colours, etc.).
How to Get XMTV
XMTV was developed at the Ohio Supercomputer Center and is
freely available under a GNU license from the
LAM download site.
