HW for PHYS696 Visualization Section -II
(please visit course Web-site for due date)
=============================================

1. Follow step-by-step directions in file README.tutorial found in

   /projects/CLASSES/Vis5D/Linux/ARSC_Vis5D_Help

  to get a series of images (frames) for subsequesnt 
  animation using Vis5D visualization package. Make sure 
  you departed as far as possible from default Vis5D 
  graphics (colors, transparency,etc.) during the frames' 
  preparation to demonstrate your proficiency with the 
  Vis5D controls.

2. Animate these frames into animated GIF and MPEG formats
 
   Check the resulting files sizes and animation quality 
   of both formats. Using utility "convert" convert your  
   uncompressed animation in GIF-format into compressed 
   MPEG-format achieving the following settings for this
   new MPEG

    - higher than MPEG default quality
    - slower playback than the initial MPEG setting 
    - cropping of the excessive frames' black margins 

   Refer to README-files in directory ..../movie for help

3. Before the due date mail the resulting output to 

   maurits@arsc.edu 
   
   with recognizable standart subject line 

   "HW for PHYS696 Fall 2011 - your name". 


   I will let you know in e-mail (cc-ed to Tom Logan) 
   immediately about your credit for this assignment 
   (up to 20% of the entire course.) If you got no 
   response from me withing a couple of days, this 
   means something went wrong with the e-mailing. 
   Please repeat your e-mail in that case (unfortunately, 
   we had such occurrences in the past).

   Full credit for this HW is earned if Vis5D graphics 
   is modified from the default and all tasks in #2 are 
   performed. Extra credit can be earned for each (or all) 
   of these achievements

    - modification of the original data genereated by 
      oscillating_sphere.f code (such as adding vector field 
      of gravitational potential inside and outside of the 
      sphere, for instance), data conversion into Vis5D 
      format and animation

    - using your own computed data for converting into .v5d 
      format and its animation 
 
    - making QTime (or AVI) movie with H.264-compression 
      using the ARSC Mac OSX systems and Quick Time 7 software.
