Properties

The viewer of JavaView supports most interaction features of an advanced 3D viewer. For example,

• Rotation, translation, zoom, camera control, picking
• Inspection of geometries and material properties
• Selective display of vertices, edges, faces, vector fields
• Animations, keyframes, auto-rotation
• Subdivision and simplification of meshes, adaptive and hierarchical triangulations
• Advanced visualization algorithms, LIC rendering, textured surfaces
• Import and export of geometries in multiple data formats
• PostScript and image file export for inclusion into paper publications
• Frontend for other applications, for example, to view Mathematica graphics

Images and geometries exported with JavaView may easily be included in TeX publications as well as online documents. Additionally, JavaView is a class library for advanced numerics in differential geometry including tools for finite element numerics. A standalone version of JavaView runs in a Unix or Windows shell from the command prompt, and can be attached as 3D viewer to other programs like Mathematica.
