StereoScope 3.7

The StereoScope Application provides a means to display and print Stereo Pairs prepared from
data consisting of points and lines information.  To view the data, try either looking at infinity between the two drawings, or else cross your eyes (honest) and stare at the two drawings.  With practice, a fused 3d image should appear between the two drawings.

By moving the angle controls, the data may be made to rotate while being viewed.

Unpack the compressed tar file using: Opener or

mv StereoScope-3.77.tar.Z Apps
cd Apps
uncompress StereoScope-3.7.tar.Z | tar -xf -

This will create the StereoScope Source with the help files and examples.
type make to make the app  (make help for other options)

Double click on the StereoScope Application Icon or on one of the test files to launch.

Version 3.7 adds the ability to launch by clicking on a file.  I still don't have it fixed so that double clicking on another file will just replace the current plot with the new one (which is what happens if you open a second file from the Open Panel).

Feel free to extend this, add color, or another data type (polygons - that could be shaded).

No guarantees or warranties implied.  I made it because I wanted to see how to use existing objects in another project and have always wanted a way to view Stereo Pairs on my monitor.
