I know very little about the capabilities of AVS.

Is this program useful for interactive graphics, say
picking out points or regions of a plot for capturing
numbers for data analysis?

Can one do real time rotations of 3d objects (say a
cloud of points) under the control of a mouse?

Can one do real-time selection of color tables under
the control of a mouse?

Can AVS be used to make journal quality pictures, say a
color surface rendering with various axes labeled using
mathematical symbols? Do people use AVS for this
purpose, say as a replacement for NCAR graphics or
DISSPLA?

Does AVS use some device independent representation for
high resolution plots? If so, what representation does
it use?

	Thanks,

	Henry
