Abstract.

In scientific research the visualization of the natural phenomena is becoming important. Gravitational lenses are presently a topic of intense research, therefore a program to visualize them is very useful, not only for research, but also for teaching. The visualization program that we are presenting, was written in C and runs under Unix and Linux platforms with previously installed libraries (XForms, Mesa or Open GL and Imlib). These libraries can be found freely on the Internet.
