Re: [Visualpython-users] to show visualization in a web page

[Dethe E. <de...@li...>]

There are web plugins for X3D (an XML-based 3D modelling language, =20
the successor to VRML), so VPython could conceivably export to X3D =20
the way it does to POVRay.  You would lose any custom Python =20
interactivity (unless it was recoded in Javascript and X3D), but have =20=

basic X3D interactivity (grab, walk, fly, if I recall correctly).

I don't know of any X3D exporters at this time, but I would expect it =20=

to be easier than porting VPython to a plugin.
