OpenGL is, in essence, a standard for hardware browsers. The existing OpenGL support, in J, is perfectly usable, from JHS, but will still be a way of getting images onto the screen and not into the browser. I have seen some discussion about html5 supporting some flavor of opengl with its canvases, but I do not know much about that. You would probably need to use javascript call html5 opengl routines. For a basic background on html5 canvases, you might read: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-canvas-element -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
