Question 36: Comments about visualization services, suggested improvements, future needs

These are the complete responses to this question, with a few minor edits.

Suggestions / feedback:

I may have not looked carefully enough online, but I would appreciate access to full online documentation and tutorials for all of the visualization applications, but particularly including AVS, Khoros, and IBM DX.
I made a comment somewhere above that you need something in between avs and gnuplot .... like g-sharp
I have not used avs at nersc, since I have it available closer and the response time over the net is too slow for animations.
Little effort has been made to communicate to average users the "plusses" of using the visualization server - it's not clear to me who is encouraged to use it.

Don't use (much) / don't know about this / no opinion:

My personal needs for this is relatively small. I do almost all plotting on my desktop machine.
