The ever increasing size and complexity of geophysical and other scientific datasets has forced developers to turn to more powerful alternatives for visualizing results of computations and experiments. These alternative need to be faster, scalable, more efficient, and able to be run on large machines. At the same time, advances in scripting languages and visualization libraries have significantly decreased the development time of smaller, desktop visualization tools. Ideally, programmers would be able to develop visualization tools in a high-level, local, scripted environment and then automatically convert their programs into compiled, remote visualization tools for integration into larger computation environments. The Web Automation and Translation Toolkit (WATT) [1] converts a Tcl script for the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) [2] into a standards-compliant web service. We will demonstrate the used of WATT for the automated conversion of a desktop visualization application (written in Tcl for VTK) into a remote visualization service of interest to geoscientists. The resulting service will allow real-time access to a large dataset through the Internet, and will be easily integrated into the existing architecture of the Virtual Laboratory for Earth and Planetary Materials (VLab) [3].
