Overview

This document exists to outline the mechanism for plotting data that comes from distributed parallel sources within ParaQ. We dub the collection of code for parallel plotting as PGraph, although the implementation will actually be set of smaller, distinct pieces. Because two of the main design criteria for ParaQ are the ability to scale well on parallel machines and provide quantitative information, the design of PGraph is critical.

Use Cases

The overall goal of PGraph is to provide plot-style visualizations of distributed VTK objects. In this section we list the types of plots users may wish to perform on their data. I encourage other ParaQ developers to contribute to this list as they see fit.

Immediately below is a table listing the types abstract visualizations with plots users may wish to create. The "Plot Type" column refers to one of the types of plots, which are listed below the table.
