PDL::Graphics::TriD::VRML -- TriD VRML backend

SYNOPSIS

  BEGIN { $PDL::Graphics::TriD::device = "VRML"; }

  use PDL::Graphics::TriD;
  use PDL::LiteF;

  # set some vrml parameters
  my $set = tridsettings(); # get the defaults
  $set->browser_com('netscape/unix');
  $set->compress();
  $set->file('/www-serv/vrml/dynamic_scene.wrl.gz');

  line3d([$x,$y,$z]); # plot some lines and view the scene with a browser

DESCRIPTION

This module implements the for PDL::Graphics::TriD (the generic 3D plotting interface for ). You can use this backend either (a) for generating 3D graphics on your machine which can be directly viewed with a browser or (b) generate dynamic worlds to distribute over the web.

With

you can generate objects for everyone to see with e.g. Silicon Graphics' Cosmo Player. You can find out more about at "vrml.sgi.com" or "www.vrml.org"

BUGS

Probably incomplete/buggy implementation of some TriD features.
