1 Purpose

    Cassandra is a modular and advanced 3D scientific data viewer. Cassandra is written in Java and based on the Visualization ToolKit, VTK.  Like in OpenDX, Cassandra includes a graphical visualisation pipeline editor based on the DedalEgraph library.

Data processings are performed through an extensive set of dynamical and independent plug-ins. Cassandra already provides several processing filters such as cutting functions, isolevels and data threshold. Plug-ins can be any kind of data processing such as import/export module or VTK pipeline definition. Cassandra is actually a VTK framework providing the common features on generic VTK objects and simplifies the creation of processing filters. The existing filters are automatically loaded at the runtime. This feature allows a wide flexibility in the definition of filters and provides a highly customisable generic VTK viewer. It should also simplify the learning curve of the VTK library by non-specialists. 

An advanced Python/Jython console, [../../jyconsole|JyConsole], completes the system and allows quick prototyping possibilites and the direct manipulation of all objects used in the system, independently of their initial language (C++/Java/Python). JyConsole includes an object-oriented completion. 

Additionnal products and related services are available on our [http://www.artenum.com/cassandra|Web site] or by contacting us (E-mail: contact (at) artenum (dot) com). 

Plug-ins, scripts and additional modules are available [../scriptCorner|here].

DedalEgraph and JyConsole are projects initiated and developed by Artenum. Please see our [http://www.artenum.com/EN/Products.html|product page] for more information.  

1 Quick start

With the binary package you should be able to directly execute the cassandra script. 

- On Windows you can directly double-click on the __cassandra.bat__ file.
- On Linux you can run cassandra by executing the __cassandra.sh__ script.

If you meet any problem, you might need to fix the path of your Java command in your script. You must specify the Java executable command of a __JRE__ and __NOT a JDK__.
