For `normal' workstation usage, 3dma outputs xy-plots in Jgraph format, and 2 dimensional images in sun rasterfile format. When plotting three dimensional images, the following output formats ar currently available:
Jgraph files
These files are ascii command files for the jgraph plotting sytem.
Jgraph is a program that process command files and generates
Postscript output that can be viewed using ghostview or
another Postscript viewing program. Encapsulated Postscript output
can also be generated for reports. 3DMA uses Jgraph output for
illustrating statistical quantities such as the burn number
distribution, shortest paths distribution, CT histograms, disconnected
pore volume distribution, and 2-Point covariance function. Please see

for more information and the latest version of jgraph. As the Jgraph
command files are ASCII, it should be noted that the relevant data may
be easily extracted using a text editor and saved for viewing using
other data plotting programs.
The following command will display the output files using ghostview
jgraph -P OUTPUT.FILE | ghostview -The ``-'' at the end is important as this indicates to ghostview that the PostScript source is coming from STDIN.
SUN raster files
These files are graphics files useful for viewing the unprocessed and
processed tomography data. The format adheres to the SUN raster
specification which encorporates a colormap and 8 bit resolution.
These images may be viewed using any image file viewer such as XV for
UNIX. 3DMA uses the SUN raster file format to display images of the
nonsegmented tomographic data, segmented data, burn number data, and
medial axis data.
