First, I'd like to thank the developers of OpenDX. OpenDX is a life saver. I was loathing having to write a visual interface from scratch for our Beowulf cluster. I went through the tutorial, but was a bit overwhelmed. I'm trying to animate heat flow through a metallic cube. I figured out how to format my data and setup OpenDX to present a single frame of the cube, but how do I animate multiple frames?

I guess the first question to ask is how should I format my output data? Currently, I just have the data streaming frame by frame with no breaks or formatting.

The second question is how should I import the data? Do I add a fourth dimension for time?

The third question is how do I setup the OpenDX program? For the single frame, I just have an Import block connected to an AutoColor block connected to an Image block. I added a Sequencer block with no connections, which doesn't create any errors, but doesn't seem to change frame either.

The last question is, can somebody recommend a book on OpenDX? Particularly from Barnes and Nobles, because I still have Christmas gift certificates left :) .
