Cahn-Hilliard Timestepping Demo

## NAME

chts - Cahn-Hilliard Timestepping Demo

## SYNOPSIS

**chts \[options\]**

## DESCRIPTION

This little program demonstrates the Illuminator Distributed Visualization Library.  It runs a time-dependent simulation of the transformation from a cube to a sphere according to the Cahn-Hilliard phase field equation, with simultaneous visualization using Geomview.  See the documentation for a full mathematical description of this demo.

To get a list of options, use \`chts -help'.

## BUGS

None, though chts illustrates a bug in Geomview's transparency code (rotate it around a bit to see what I mean).
