- This is a MediaView custom component, which when loaded and instantiated,
- provides an interactive tool for viewing 3D datasets. It's based on the
- 3-d_Rotation program submitted to the archives some time ago by Bates and
- Clayton from the University of Wisconsin. I have enhanced it a bit by
- adding a simple color specification. On the other hand, it still needs
- work; volunteers are welcome.
-
- The datasets (5 of which are included) consist of a series of 3D points
- preceded by the directive "Lines". Think of lines as the equivalent of
- PSmoveto(). The directive "Color" is followed by exactly 1 line that
- specifies the color of the ensuing series of lines. Color is specified
- as r,g,b with a value between 0 and 1.
-
- An alternate-click on the 3D view toggles an axis system, while command-click
- toggles an enclosing cube.
-
- The current 3D view can be copied to the pasteboard as EPS at any time.
-
- Finally, double-clicking on the 3D view brings up an inspector, which
- shows the current dataset, the current orientation in 3-space, and provides
- a modest sound annotation facility.
