I like being able to rotate models in a PDF - of course you know customers are going to complain that it doesn't work when they print it out! It would be nice not to need to ship all of Latex as well but I'm sure somebody will produce a slimmed down library. > DWF is IMO more interesting : liberal license > (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.dwf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.dwf)), > source code available, full-featured (but lacks kinematics). That's interesting, liberal license and Autodesk don't generally go together. And just because a format is published doesn't mean it's usable = DXF ! I worked with dwf years ago, we needed people to be able to see the latest construction blueprints on the web. DWF seemed to be the worst of all worlds back then. You needed a plugin to display the picture but you also had to manually create the dwf from the dwg so you could never be sure it was upto date. It was easier to just plot the dwg to PDF. The plugin could redline the drawing - but had no way of sending the changes back to the server . I didn't know that it did 3D now, that could be worth looking into - especially if it replaces DXf. Sorry can't really justify a lot of time on a VRML reader at the moment. But I will get back to finishing the DXF writer plugin. thanks Martin ------------------ Read this topic online here: http://forum.openscenegraph.org/viewtopic.php?p=13068#13068 _______________________________________________ osg-submissions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-submissions-openscenegraph.org
