Vista Tutorial

The guide uses raw format files for examples which require the "-raw" flag with x, y, z dimensions along with "-minmax" flag which sets the range of the data for color mapping. Raw files are simple binary brick of char/short/ushort/int/float.
If you made the default installation., Vista is run from the svt_build directory.

Download example files - save it at the same level where vista source was saved, to unzip/extract do as follows (This will create a directory named examples)
% tar -xzf example.tar.gz

% gunzip examples.tar.gz then % tar -xf examples.tar
Download camera files - save it at the same level where vista source was saved, to unzip/extract do as follows (This will create a directory named cameras)
% tar -xzf cameras.tar.gz

% gunzip examples.tar.gz then % tar -xf cameras.tar.gz
Download map files - save it at the same level where vista source was saved, to unzip/extract do as follows (This will create a directory named maps)
% tar -xzf maps.tar.gz

% gunzip examples.tar.gz then % tar -xf maps.tar
Create a directory named "output" This will be used later to store results:
% mkdir output
% ls
The following should be the directory structure (all at same level):
svt-2.0 svt_build
examples
camera
maps
output
Change from current directory to examples directory:
% cd examples
