Abstract: This thesis deals with the development of a visualisation framework specialised for large particle sets which have been simulated on supercomputers. It provides a modular design so that multiple input formats are supported. Furthermore, multiple output devices are adaptable ranging from laptops over desktop computers to stereoscopic projection systems. To come up against the large size of input data with thousands of time steps containing up to billions of particles, a concept of multiple views has been established. Each view consists of an operator choosing a subset of the input data and a filter defining the graphical interpretation of this subset. The filters describe threedimensional scenes or two-dimensional displays. The scenes are inserted in the main window directly, all views containing two-dimensional filters are adapted to the border of the main window as overlays.
