NAME
       PDL::Graphics::TriD::VRML -- TriD VRML backend

SYNOPSIS
         BEGIN { $PDL::Graphics::TriD::device = "VRML"; }

         use PDL::Graphics::TriD;
         use PDL::LiteF;

         # set some vrml parameters
         my $set = tridsettings(); # get the defaults
         $set->browser_com('netscape/unix');
         $set->compress();
         $set->file('/www-serv/vrml/dynamic_scene.wrl.gz');

         line3d([$x,$y,$z]); # plot some lines and view the scene with a browser


DESCRIPTION
       This module implements the VRML for PDL::Graphics::TriD
       (the generic 3D plotting interface for PDL). You can use
       this backend either (a) for generating 3D graphics on your
       machine which can be directly viewed with a VRML browser
       or (b) generate dynamic VRML worlds to distribute over the
       web.

       With VRML, you can generate objects for everyone to see
       with e.g.  Silicon Graphics' Cosmo Player. You can find
       out more about VRML at "http://vrml.sgi.com/" or
       "http://www.vrml.org/"

BUGS
       Probably incomplete/buggy implementation of some TriD fea-
       tures.
