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

[Paul K. <pki...@ja...>]

Some questions:

1) What does the vrml interface require that is not needed by other 3D
visualization functions? Is it possible that you would want something like
the plplot setup, where you are replacing the graph viewer but using the
usual interface to manipulate it?

2) How does the interface compare to the matlab VR toolkit?  Is there any
point to trying to match their interface?

3) Are there alternative VR's to VRML?

I would put it in main/vrml or maybe main/vr or extra/vrml.
