RE: "Classic Controls" package

[Jim K. <ji...@ji...>]

Niels and All,

I have figured out a solution.  The Dynamic Palette View package now
installs two palette views: "Dynamic Palette View" and "2D Dynamic =
Palette
View".  The 2D Dynamic Palette View is identical to the Dynamic Palette
View, with the exception that the Controls palette has Classic (2D) =
controls
submenus and has a submenu called "3D Controls", which contains all of =
the
3D controls.

The "2D Dynamic Palette View" (./menus/2ddynamic/) contains only two mnu
files (root.mnu and 3dctrls.mnu) which link to mnu files in the Dynamic
Palette View  (./menus/dynamic/), so there is virtually no duplication =
of
work in supporting the additional palette view.

I have released ogrsc_dynamicpalette-0.6-1.ogp, which includes the 2D
Dynamic Palette View.  This package is part of =
all_packages-2.0.5.ogp.zip.

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengtoolkit/>

I'll update the OpenG Toolkit Downloads page on OpenG.org with =
instructions
that include the 2D Dynamic Palette View.
