Introduction

homboVis is a visualisation package from the makers of CHOMBO. It is no longer supported and VisIt is now the visulaisation tool of choice. However, ChomboVis may still be useful for debugging purposes and so the notes below describe how to build and run this package.

Prequisites

ChomboVis relies upon a number of other packages, so you will need to install these first:

Python Megawidgets

See:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmw

Needs to be unpacked so that it is a generally available package for Python. On dartagnan (CentOS), I used:

yum install python-pmw

to quickly achieve this.

HDF5

I used v1.6.5 in conjuction
