[OctDev] 3D visiualization and vrml tools w/ mini-howto

[Etienne G. <et...@is...>]

  Hello,

I'm working again on 3D visualization tools. Most conspicuous are
the functions :

  vmesh (x,y,z) : Somewhat like mesh(), but uses a VRML browser for
                  display. Allows to examine the function and save
                  snapshots.

  
  sel  = select_3D_points (x) : View a set of 3D points and select
                  some of them by using the mouse.

There are functions for doing lines, polyhedra and various other 3D
objects.

  This is derived from the vrml toolbox on my homepage + some
improvements and a mini-howto that I'm writing.

  Anyone interested to have this, e.g. in main/vrml or
main/3Dvisualization or wherever?

  Cheers,

  Etienne

PS : Requires FreeWRL (http://www.crc.ca/FreeWRL) to do the
     visualization. There's at least a Debian package of it.
