The VisAD Java Class Library for Scientific Data and Visualization

VisAD is a Java class library for interactive and collaborative visualization and analysis of numerical data. It is designed to support distributed computing and data sharing on the Internet through the use of distributed objects and a very general numerical data model. The data model integrates metadata for data organization, units, coordinate systems, sampling geometries and topoligies, missing data indicators, and error estimates. When data are combined in computations or visualizations, unit conversion, coordinate transforms and resampling are done implicitly as needed.
