Movies and Animations

1.1  What platforms can they be viewed on?  

Any platform that java is available for, including Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and Solaris. Because there is not an effective standard for visualizing and exploring data in 2D+time we distribute our own viewer.

If you would like to view these results in other ways or with other software, then let us know and we'll see what can be done.

1.2  How is the data generated?  

Very very painfully. And lots of Fortran.

 

Company

2.1  Why is the company called Cantanout?  

Because the names of the founders are Cannon, Lattanzio and Tout. We felt that "Cantanout" sounds better than "Tounonzio" or "Latnonout" or "Toutannon".

2.2  Where are you based?  

Legally, Cantanout is a Scottish limited company, but it all its work goes on on the web.

2.3  What do you do?  

Um, err...
