CHANGE LOG

****
Sep 13, 2011 v0.11
- More granular polarity controls - you can select your polarity views per Y, X, Z axes individually now. This helps to visualize when the view gets too cluttered and you want to see something individually.

- Fixed bug in which spires would flow wrong direction in the negative region. Now the checkbox for "Show CW Spires" will correctly show spires flowing CW in the positive region and CCW in the negative region (looking down from the same static view). Similarly - the checkbox for "Show CCW Spires" will correctly show spires flowing CCW in the positive region and CW in the negative region.

****
Sep 9, 2011 v0.1
- Spire display added

****
Sep 8, 2011 - v0.02
- Alpha version of Circle Trellis Creator showing the layout of circles in true proportions and placements.

A value of 0 in this field will display equator circle 0.
A value of N in this field will display N circles of the fulcrum.

For explanation of this field see http://vortexspace.org/display/glossary/Spoke+Grid
A value of 0 will show no spokes at all.
A value of 1 will display spokes at the 0 degree mark of each circle.
A value of 2 will display spokes at the 0 and 180 degree marks of each circle.
A value of N will display spokes at the 360/N degree marks of each circle.

RUN ON OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS

On Windows (Win32) machines - you can launch the EXE file directly to launch the application with no extra steps required.

On Mac/Linux you will need to open the console and type in "java -jar VxBrowser01.jar" to launch the application. If you have an alternative operating system from Win32, it may be necessary to replace the dll files with the appropriate JOGL 1.1.1 files from the internet (for example if you are running an x64 server OS). If you are having trouble launching the application, download the appropriate OS-specific OpenGL files from: http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-1.1.1/ and replace the ones bundled with the application.
The following OS-specific JOGL 1.1.1 dependency files are required in the root directory of the application:
jogl.dll
gluegen-rt.dll
jogl_awt.dll
jogl_cg.dll
