Mary,
I am Jeffrey Jonas, Sr. Analyst at NASA/GISS (on the Columbia
University campus). We've spoken once or twice over the years,
and exchanged E-mail a few times too.
My primary job is high performance computing (which now means
parallelization), but I've always been generating alot of graphics
along the way. Over the last 6 years or so, most of my graphics
work has been with NCAR Graphics (the low level routines).
Where I could use some advice.
I want to return to my earlier work with animation and video
generation, but this time I'm considering using NCAR Graphics to
generate the individual frames. My early work along these lines
entailed using GL, but I've been very happy with the NCAR-G
quality, so I'd like to explore using NCAR-G for this. However
with all the options that are available today, it's hard to know
where to start. I'm thinking that hopefully I could kill 2 birds
with 1 stone if I plan this carefully (the 2 birds being animation
on UNIX workstations and VHS-video generation). I work on an SGI
O2 workstation, and as I mentioned earlier, have been using NCAR-G
for quite a while.
In poking around your web-site I found references to ...
mpeg_play and mpeg_create
are these software packages that I could use for this work ??
Or am I way off-base on this ??
Any feedback would be appreciated, thanx !!!
