This file (readme.usr.txt) gives an overview of the 
supplemental material, provided with the article "Image Based 
Flow Visualization". Here the files are enumerated with a
short description. A more convenient access is provided
via the html-page index.html, which can be opened in a
WWW-browser.

The files of the supplemental material can be divided into 
five categories:

* General    : Description contents
* Sample code: Sample implementation of IBFV;
* IBFV tool  : demo tool, used to produce all images, except
               fig. 14 in the article;
* Animations artificial flow field;
* Animations turbulent flow simulation data.

General

- readme.usr.txt : this file
- index.html     : web-page with overview of contents
- background.jpg : background image web-page

-------------------------------------------------------------
Sample code

A one page sample implementation of IBFV is provided:

- ibfv_sample.c.txt: plain C-code, using OpenGL and GLUT
- ibfvsample.pdf   : annotated version


-------------------------------------------------------------
IBFV tool

Demo tool that can be used to experiment with IBFV.
Requires Windows'98 or higher and a 3D graphics card.
Consult ibfv_readme.txt for more information.

- ibfv.exe            : executable program
- ibfv_readme.txt     : description, limitations, features, 
                        requirements, warnings, ...
- screenshot.jpg      : screenshot of user interface
- screenshot_small.jpg: thumbnail of screenshot
- sg2002_128.bmp      : test image with SIGGRAPH 2002 logo, 
                        128x128 resolution
- sg2002_256.bmp      : test image with SIGGRAPH 2002 logo, 
                        256x256 resolution

-------------------------------------------------------------
Animations artificial flow field

Animations in MPEG-1 format are provided of the images that
show an artificial flow field. Use the 'repeat' option of 
your animation-player. The following files are present:

- figXX.mpg       : animation
- figXX.jpg       : still image
- figXX_small.jpg : thumbnail image

where XX refers to the number of the figure in the
article: 9a, 9b, 10b, 11a, 11b, 12b, 13a, 13b.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Animations turbulent flow simulation data 

Also, animations are provided that show turbulent flow
simulation data (courtesy data Verstappen and Veldman, 
RU Groningen):

- fig14_YY.mpg        : animation
- fig14_YY.jpg        : still image
- fig14_YY_small.jpg  : thumbnail image

where YY refers to the zoom-factor used: 0.5, 01, 02, 04, 
08, 16, 32, 64.
