I don't know of any such bindings, but I have very little experience
with Fortran. Isn't it easier to go the other way around though?
Translation from Fortran to C seems to be automatic
(http://www.netlib.org/f2c/), and then you could write the visualization
and Inventor interfaceing code in C/C++. I think f2c is included in most
Linux distributions, and I don't think there is any significant
performance reduction, see lapack++ (http://math.nist.gov/lapack++/) for
some discussion on that (it's based on f2c'ed versions of lapack and
blas).
Hope this helps,
Johan
