Features and Capabilities of the F5 Library

• Uniform Grids
• Rectilinear Grids
• Curvilinear Grids
• Time-dependent data
• Images, Image sequences, Multichannel images (rgb, alpha channel, cmyk, infrared, UV, user-defined) , Floating-point Pixel data (16,32,64 bit), multiple viewpoints, tiled images
• Fragmented fields (tiled images, multiprocessor blocks, chunked data)
• Triangular Surfaces, Quad Surfaces
• Unstructured Meshes
• Particle Systems
• Lines and sets of lines
• Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR, Berger-Oliger scheme, image mipmaps, multi-resolution images)
• Scalar, Vector, Tensorfields, covariant and contravariant vectors and tensors
• Multiple coordinate systems
• Vertex-centered, edge-centered, face-centered, cell-centered data sets
• Cell complexes
• Attached color maps
• Various levels of granularity, files may be split and merged at different sizes
• Support for different layouts of compound type fields

Note: Due to limited manpower, the F5 library is developed on demand. Not all of the above features are actually fully implemented and tested yet.
