VisIVO highligths:

VisIVO is a tool for the visualisation and analysis of scientific data 
for many fields of science. It is specifically designed for astrophyiscs 
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).
