Geomview Description

Geomview was designed to be a standalone viewer to see and manipulate objects. It can display objects described in a variety of file formats. It comes with a wide selection of example objects, and you can easily create your own objects too. You can also use Geomview to handle the display of data coming from another program that is running simultaneously. As the other program changes the data, the Geomview image reflects the changes. Programs that generate objects and use Geomview to display them are called external modules. External modules can control almost all aspects of Geomview. The idea here is that many aspects of the display and interaction parts of geometry software are independent of the geometric content and can be collected together in a single piece of software that can be used in a wide variety of situations. The author of the external module can then concentrate on implementing the desired algorithm and leave the display aspects to Geomview. Geomview comes with a collection of sample external modules, and the manual describes how to write your own. Geomview allows multiple independently controllable objects and cameras. It provides interactive control for motion, appearances (including lighting, shading, and materials), picking on an object, edge or vertex level, snapshots in many image file, PostScript, or Renderman RIB format, and adding or deleting objects is provided through direct mouse manipulation, control panels, and keyboard shortcuts. Geomview can run under Microsoft Windows using Cygwin.
