LEARN: GEON IDV Tutorial

The GEON IDV is a software package to explore, display and manipulate earth science data.

The IDV is deliberately made to display and explore any earth-located data, from National Weather Service radar scans as 3D volumes to earthquake focal mechanisms in the mantle. It probably can use and display your data, and provide features found nowhere else, but it does not know about particular kinds of data, or automatically make standard displays. It does not how know how you like to display your data. You need to know how to tell it what you want. Also it is a true 3D display system, so you probably will need controls you never used before. If it does not work for you, please read the instructions.

The GEON IDV is built with the Unidata IDV. The Unidata IDV does not have the displays for solid-earth geophysics provided by the GEON IDV, but otherwise the two packages are the same.

Unidata IDV Workshop for more details about the IDV.
