This is the documentation starting point for Illuminator, a distributed visualization library. It is based on PETSc, and the current implementation uses Geomview to render isoquant surfaces.

In addition to visualization, Illuminator 0.4+ includes distributed storage functions, to permit rapid saving and loading of data to local hard drives on a Beowulf cluster using various types of compression.
