This is a MediaView custom component, which when loaded and instantiated, provides an interactive tool for viewing 3D datasets. It's based on the 3-d_Rotation program submitted to the archives some time ago by Bates and Clayton from the University of Wisconsin. I have enhanced it a bit by adding a simple color specification. On the other hand, it still needs work; volunteers are welcome. The datasets (5 of which are included) consist of a series of 3D points preceded by the directive "Lines". Think of lines as the equivalent of PSmoveto(). The directive "Color" is followed by exactly 1 line that specifies the color of the ensuing series of lines. Color is specified as r,g,b with a value between 0 and 1. An alternate-click on the 3D view toggles an axis system, while command-click toggles an enclosing cube. The current 3D view can be copied to the pasteboard as EPS at any time. Finally, double-clicking on the 3D view brings up an inspector, which shows the current dataset, the current orientation in 3-space, and provides a modest sound annotation facility.
