PPVisualization: visualization routines for MATLAB*P
----------------------------------------------------

This package was implemented by Jack HOlloway ([e-mail]),
Adnan Sulejmanpasic ([e-mail]), and Oskar Bruening
([e-mail]) as a final project for Professor A. Edelman's "Applied
Parallel Computing" course (18.337J/6.338J/SMA 5505) at MIT during the
spring of 2002.

There are a number of source code and MATLAB figure & "dot-m" files
included in this tarball. Along with those files (mainly in the
<base>/matlab/ and <base>/packages/ directories), there is an included
PPVISUAL_total.diff. This file contains a concatinated listing of
patch files needed to patch a few core MATLAB*P files to provide extra
functionality (as well as patches to add the PPVisualization packages
to the build process).

There are three new pieces of user-land software available to users:
      - ppspy(ddense) :: a spy routine for ddense matricies.
      - ppsurf(ddense) :: a surf routine for ddense matricies.
      - ppmesh(ddense) :: a mesh routine for ddense matricies.

They are relatively straight forward to use, including their own
GUI. Also included are the ppsurf_test.m and ppspy_test.m files (in
<base>/matlab/) which can be poked at to see exactly how the MATLAB*P
package code is interfaced with MATLAB.
