 ===== OOFEG =====
 OOFEG is graphical postprocessor provided with oofem. It requires X-windows libraries to be installed on the system, so it is more or less limited to unix platforms. The capabilities of OOFEG are limited in 3D visualization, therefore the recommended way for end users interested in 3D analyses is to use oofem capability to export data in VTK format and use third-party, freely available tools such as mayavi or paraview to visualize results. Another advantage is, that these tools are multiplatform and OPEN-GL based, so that they are available on both unix and windows and can fully explore the potential of your graphics hardware.
