SPLASH - an interactive visualisation tool for SPH data

About

SPLASH is a free and open source visualisation tool for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations in one, two and three dimensions, developed mainly for astrophysics. It uses a command-line menu but data can be manipulated interactively in the plotting window.

Data is read directly from the code dump format giving rapid access to results and the visualisation is advanced forwards and backwards through timesteps by single keystrokes.

SPLASH uses the SPH smoothing kernel to render plots of density and other physical quantities, giving a smooth representation of the data. The goal is to produce beautiful plots and visualisations from SPH codes, instead of simple particle plots.

SPLASH can also be used as a standalone plotting tool for any kind of tabulated or image data from ascii, csv or .fits files.
