ParaView enables real time visualization and exploration of three-dimensional data sets. The ParaView software is open-source and multi-platform and contains many tools for both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. In this workshop we will explore an example data set and learn how to use a variety of ParaView's built-in tools.
