(R561) Using the Graphics Equipment in the Vislab `Credit: Jeff Hestor, Paul Scowen (ASU/NASA)` Purpose The purpose of the Vislab is to provide a complete facility for the visualization of information, from graphic input to graphic output, and to aid in the understanding or presentation of some academic subject, be it in the sciences, art, humanities, or any other academic discipline. It provides most of the tools needed for computer graphics and advanced WWW illustration. Usage Policies The Vislab is mainly used for visualization of information, in teaching or research. The lab is usually restricted to faculty, students, and staff who are affiliated with the University of Washington, and visiting scholars. All users must schedule their time and equipment using a a web scheduling system provided in the link below. Equipment The equipment includes slide, paper, and film scanners, PC/MAC and workstation WWW displays, camera, video tape, and CD writer, and facilities for video capture and editing of video displays. In June 1998 a large format HP755C color plotter was added to the vislab. It can create color plots up to 36x108 inches in size. Sources C&C Visualization Lab at the Locke Computer Center for scheduling time in the lab.
