SC09-Tutorial

These are the notes and script for the 1/2 day tutorial that Hank Childs and Sean Ahern taught for the Supercompting 2009 Conference. The idea behind the tutorial is to provide a quick introduction to many features in VisIt. Note that the VisIt Class, which is much more thorough, can be found here.

The tutorial is broken into 6 parts, each with its own page:

1. VisIt basics
2. Data analysis
3. Python scripting
4. Moviemaking
5. Comparison
6. Data representations
