1. Where to Start
============================

Refer to the PolyViz Manual. It describes what PolyViz is, library 
organization, how to build and install, how to use PolyViz Viewer 
and the theory underlying the system.

The PolyViz libraries themselves are at a different version number 
than the Viewer application. The subsequent sections of this file
refer to the binary distributions of the PolyViz Viewer. The most
current documentation of the libraries themselves is in the PolyViz
Manual and in the Doxygen API documentation. 

The Doxygen API documentation can be built from the source package 
or from svn. If neccessary google Doxygen to obtain the software 
required to build the API documentation.



2. Windows Binary Notes
============================

System
----------------------------
These binaries were built for Windows 7. They are 32 bit but have 
been tested and shown to run on 64 bit windows.

This build was tested on a 64 bit Windows 7 professional machine 
with an AMD processor.



3. OS X Binary Notes
============================

System
----------------------------
These binaries were built for OS X 10.6 on Intel processors. It is 
32 bit but will run on 64 bit processors. 

This build was tested on a 64 bit Intel MacBook Pro running 10.6.6.



3. Linux Binary Notes
============================

System
----------------------------
These binaries were built for Fedora 14. They are 32 bit but will 
run on 64 bit processors.

This build was tested on a 64 bit Fedora 14 machine with Intel Xeon 
processors.

Advisories
----------------------------
Due to a strangeness with embedding Ogre in a GTK window that I 
have not yet been able to resolve, the 3D view may appear strangely
upon application startup or upon resizing the window. Most 3D window 
appearance glitches can be resolved by resizing the application 
window slightly. You can then resize it back to the size it was 
initially. Apologies for the kludginess.
