- Well, I finally got my hands on release 3.0. I've modified Plot3D so it uses
- Renderman for its 3d output, and improved a whole bunch of other things. You
- can ftp the new version from sonata.cc.purdue.edu or ion.rice.edu. Please send
- suggestions/bug reports to steve@ion.rice.edu.
-
- Changes since 1.1:
-
- Uses Renderman instead of my 3d routines (this may actually be a bit slower in
- wireframe mode).
- Standard 3.0 help interface.
- Viewing angles redefined to be more "standard".
- Color works, but only in "shaded" mode (I think).
- Hidden surface removal (thanks to renderman).
- Since renderman does solid modeling, symbols have been replaced with 3d
- objects.
- Fixed scaling bug for small grid sizes.
- Density plot now displays data files much better.
- Printing of density plots improved.
