Description
The ROOT graphical libraries provide support for many different functions
including basic graphics, high-level visualization techniques, output on files, 3D
viewing etc. They use well-known world standards to render graphics on
screen, to produce high-quality output files, and to generate images for Web
publishing. Many techniques allow visualization of all the basic ROOT data
types, projected in different dimensions and coordinate systems and the
production of high quality output for publication purposes. This paper will
present the current status of the ROOT graphics including recent developments
in 2D representations and the latest developments in the 3D area based on
OpenGL. As OpenGL is becoming the standard cross-platform basic graphics
package, the current work being done to base all ROOT screen rendered
graphics (2D and 3D) on OpenGL will also be presented. Finally we will present
some visualization techniques not (yet) available in the ROOT framework which
might be of some interest in the future.
