I'm using Compose (and Color), on which Gadfly is built. I tried Gadfly itself, but there were some inefficiencies -- I tried to compose an image consisting of many different edges, and this many independent graphs (I'm using the wrong terminology here) was not handled well.
I've copy-and-pasted my plot routines at <https://gist.github.com/eschnett/a9e7f70e4910e4ba2768> to give you an example. "circle" draws a filled circle (a vertex), and "line" draws a line (an edge). I'm choosing colours depending on the z coordinate. The code isn't self-contained, but should serve as example to see how easy/complex this approach is. -erik On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 9:09 PM, Simon Kornblith <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there an easy way to display a polygon mesh in Julia, i.e., vertices and > faces loaded from an STL file or created by marching tetrahedra using > Meshes.jl?
