MEDIT : An interactive Mesh visualization Software

This technical report describes the main features of MEDIT , an interactive mesh visualization tool developped in the Gamma project at INRIA-Rocquencourt. Based on the graphic standardOpenGL, this software has been specifically designed to fulfill most of the common requirements of engineers and numericians, in the context of numerical simulations. This program is rather intuitive and, therefore, the user does not really need any specific learning stage prior to be able to play with it. In this document, the user will learn how to visualize and manipulate mesh data structures via the mouse, how to deal with scalar/tensor values associated with a mesh and how to deal with more complex features (e.g., animations, postscript or image output creation, etc.).
