- i've been following the discussion of setting up a ftp site
- of 3d databases and choice of appropriate file formats
- with interest.
-
- people have been suggesting that convertors between different
- formats should be provided. for me using a phigs based system
- that has no functions for reading any database abc or xyz, what
- i'd like to see is alongside database jjj in format xyz, code for
- reading database xyz provided - this way the argument is not
- about database formats but rather code formats C/fortran/..
- and PHIGS/GL/..
-
- anybody think this is a good idea? anybody got any good
- databases and C/PHIGS code for reading them they want to
- let me have?
