Fortran vs ShapeWorks
A side-by-side look at Fortran and ShapeWorks. For an in-depth review of either product, follow the links below.
Fortran
Fortran is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, Fortran came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continuous use for over half a century.
ShapeWorks
ShapeWorks is open-source software for statistical shape modeling and analysis. It enables researchers to build statistical models from ensembles of shapes, then analyze those models and simulate new shapes. ShapeWorks has applications in medical imaging, biology, anatomy education, and other fields that use 3D imaging data.
