[OctDev] Re: vrml_transfo syntax error

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

  Hi Laurent,

so, you seem to say, freewrl now requires two dashes in front of
options, rather than one. We should either find a way to determine the
version and set the number of dashes accordingly, or suppose that the
newest freewrl is installed (not the case at my place).

   The file /tmp/octave_browser_out.txt, is used only to get some
feedback from the user: function vrml_select_points() uses it to know
which 3D points in the visualized set (s)he selected (by clicking on
the points). Functions that need no feedback don't create this file,
so not finding may be normal.

  However, /tmp/octave_vrml_output.wrl should exist, as it contains
the vrml data passed to the browser. Do you have it?

  Cheers,

  Etienne

PS : I cc to octave-forge rather than octave.
