The goal of this thesis is to develop an advanced visualization techniques for large number of particles in open-source software Paraview. It is based on the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) that aims at parametric rendering of quadric shapes that includes also rendering features such as lightning or shading for primitive geometrie shapes e.g. ellipsoid, cylinder, cone. One of the main goals is to render large amounts of these particles real-time. The software developed is in a form of plug-in for Paraview and is based on the approach of M. Sawley et al. His theory and implementation is to be described in the thesis. The work is carried out in cooperation with Faculty of Science, Technology and Communication at University of Luxembourg.
