I've taught my polyhedra to display themselves in .m format, via a lg3d.py module, so now I can provide browsers with interactive views such as found at:
Kirby This is great news! I would love to see and try your lg3d.py module. Is it posted anywhere? I have been a big fan of Mathematica used with Martin Kraus's terrific LiveGraphics3D applet for several years. It keeps getting better. It loads quickly and is very fast and repsonsive. It is capable of nice animation -> [see examples on his site ] and has some lovely 'hide/reveal' features using alternate keys + mouse buttons to remove elements dynamically from a model display Wolfram, though touting it off a little, have been reluctant as always to quickly take this ball and run with it. Which is perhaps just as well since Martin Kraus is freer to keep doing his 'thing' unencumbered. I suggest you put these mouse interaction hotkeys info close at hand on your own page: user action applet reaction dragging (left mouse button pressed) rotating about an axis in the picture releasing left mouse button while dragging spinning about an axis in the picture SHIFT key pressed plus vertical dragging zooming SHIFT key pressed plus horizontal dragging rotating about an axis perpendicular to the picture CONTROL key pressed plus vertical dragging changing focal length CONTROL key pressed plus horizontal dragging changing strength of stereo effect META (ALT) key (or right mouse button) pressed plus vertical dragging stripping parts of the graphics "o" key printing parameter settings to the Java console (aka Java messages window) "s" key toggling between single picture, stereo pictures for diverge fusing and stereo pictures for cross fusing HOME key restoring original perspective (no spinning) <quoted from the Docs at http://wwwvis.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/%7Ekraus/LiveGraphics3D/documentat ion.html > - Jason ___________________________________________________________ Jason CUNLIFFE = NOMADICS['Interactive Art and Technology']
