VisIVO highligths:

VisIVO is a tool for the visualization and analysis of scientific data for
many  fields of science. It is specifically designed for astrophyisics but it
can be used for many other applications.

VisIVO is VO (Virtual Observatory) standard compliant and supports the most
important data formats such as ASCII and binary data,  HDF5, FITS  and
VOTables. The software can deal with  observational and simulated data and it
is particularly effective in handling multidimensional datasets  (e.g. catalogues,
computational meshes, etc.).  It is a free software  and can be  downloaded
from the web  site (http://visivo.cineca.it).

VisIVO  is  integrated into the  VO  framework  and it is supported by the
National  Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), in  collaboration with  CINECA,
the largest Italian academic supercomputing centre, in the  VO-TECH project
(a Design  Study  implemented as Specific Support Action funded by EU in the
FP6 Program).
