This lets me bring up and down recording and playback without changing the basic data flow through the system. And I can "Glue" this into most media player programs since one of the filters pretends its a big webcam. It should be easy to make a non-VMR rendering window for you, Dmitry, (although a big reason I did this was to be able to flow more through DirectX 3D eventually). If nothing else, I may qualify for the Guiness Record for Most Over-engineered Novelty Program Ever.

A year ago I came with colouring memory areas, for example: http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2008/04/16/computer-colometric-memory-dating-part-1/ and dynamic heap visualization: http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2007/08/12/visualizing-memory-leaks/ One of ideas here that came to my mind after playing with ParaView is to combine dump images with externally collected data, I try to elaborate on this later.

It would be nice, tho, if you could show some real applications of what you're doing. It looks pretty and all, but I'm not seeing any real use of it. Feel free to contact us at VizWorld.

I'm currently reading Alexandru Telea's Data Visualization: Principles and Practice that explains many features that VTK toolkit offers. Looking forward to seeing your new version of HayWire. As I told you before, it needs normal Windows rendering so I could do real-time dump browsing remotely to mine artistic images... :-) I really didn’t expect the free program to be so good!

I will have to look that system over and see how suitable it would be for a more generalized memory (and dynamic behavior) visualizer. I plan on having HayWire ready later today - although I am encouraged to out-do Para-View - HayWire already a bit over-due, so I will wait until later to attack memory dumping with DirectX3D hammer and tongs. I will let you know when you are good to go. Wow - that is awesome stuff Dmitry.
