Comment (by ken@…):
Ooh, this is so much nicer ;-)
Among the improvements:
In WebGL, the viewport works nicely for rotating some of the weird and
wonderful shapes I created.
The svg files are no self-contained, instead of referencing the png files
- this makes them viewable without being in the same directory.
Lighting is better - this means that colours are a little brighter.
The only downside that I can see is for people who do not build against
freeglut. Previously, these 3D examples with minimal rendering were a bit
jagged. Now they look like the output from other 3D apps such as blender
when minimal rendering is used - shapes are visibly made up of panels.
Because the appearance of the output has changed, I've updated my asy-test
tarball in [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~ken/asy-nontex-testfiles/] to
20200714. The older version is still there for anyone using 2.65 or
earlier. I've also added an animated GIF, and I'll note that WebGL works
in current seamonkey, as well as firefox and falkon. Coincidentally, on
the recent system where I've been reviewing this I found that the RANDOM
output from bash was much more blocky (i.e. certain numbers in a range
occurred very often), and that I could not manage to get the last number
of a range to be produced (e.g. for colours in a range of 0 to 8, 8 never
showed up). I've reworked the random processing in the tarball's makeklein
program to mostly work around this.
