The Spread Sheet lets you use VisAD to visualize data files and do
simple computations, without any programming.  It is distributed as
part of the VisAD class library available from:

  http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html

The VisAD Spread Sheet requires JDK 1.2 beta 4, and optionally Java3D
if you want 3-D displays.  It also uses Java2D to generate 2-D displays.

Of course, the full flexibility of VisAD is only accessible to
programmers using the class library, but the Spread Sheet is a handy
way to visualize and compute with netCDF, FITS, GIF, JPEG, Vis5D and
HDF-EOS files that does not require any programming.

If you have questions you can get help from the VisAD mailing list.
