- Short: Plots 3D-datas with shading etc.-MUI
- Author: ss37@inf.tu-dresden.de (Sven Steiniger)
- Uploader: ss37@inf.tu-dresden.de (Sven Steiniger)
- Version: 3.35
- Type: gfx/3d
- Replaces: gfx/3d/Plotter3D.*
- Requires: OS 2.04+, MUI 3.7+
-
- Plotter3D is highly specialized for drawing threedimensional datas.
- Features:
- - a lot of drawmodes, eq. XYZ-colorflow, gouraud-shading, even phongshading,
- all working in 24Bit
- - draws previews directly into previewwindow with grayscale or 32+ colors. On
- a CyberGfx-Screen in *full* 16/24Bit.
- - Nearly all windows are 'interactive'. Means you can change settings and
- they are used immeditely. No need to close the window and because of that
- you still have full undo-capabilities.
- - you can rotate, move, scale objects directly with the mouse
- - nice graphical user interface (MUI)
- - dynamic window creating == you can open as many windows as you want
- - heavily uses Drag&Drop
- - unlimited number of objects
- - unlimited number of lightsources per object
- - you can define own materials
- - possibility to import/export objects. Currently supported are TDDD-objects
- (Imagine) [IE], Lightwave-objects [E], CSV-files [IE], Pictures [I] and
- Fonts [I].
- - has an special *RealTime mode*. You can rotate, scale and move an object in
- realtime. Supported realtime modes are flatshading, gouraudshading,
- texturemapping, faked phong shading and combined gouraudshading/texture
- mapping.
- - realtime mode has an special *i-Glasses* switch. Then it renders true
- 3D-pictures.
- - possibility to save the frames of realtime mode. Building animations with
- eq. MainView is very easy.
- - localized: English is built-in, german, french and spanish catalogs
- included. English and german docs included.
- - online help
- - ... (try it)

- Whats new since v3.30:
- - some bug fixes
- - added workarounds for MUI-ASL bugs
-
- Whats new since v3.20:
- - Select mode to determine coordinates of points
- - lot of bug fixes (argghh! found really nasty ones)
- - loading of full TDDD-objects
- - new realtime modes: flatshading and combined gouraud/texturemapping
-
- Whats new since v3.01:
- - i-Glasses support in realtime mode !
- - 3D-functions may now also contain constants (eg. 'pi')
- - parameters u, v now also functions (eg. 'pi*exp(2)')
- - all exceptions are not catched
- - realtime mode work now with large objects (>32000 triangles)
- - Doublebuffering for CyberGfx-screens
- - more stable & precise realtime mode
- - errorhandler works again (no longer 'Unknown Error'-requests)
- - added lightwave exporter
- - a lot of bug fixes
- - MUI-Pubscreen should no longer crash
- - ... see docs/history

-
- Has been successfully test on A1230, A1260, A4000, A4000/060.
- It will probably crash on plain A500/A600(+)!
