  View3D is an OSF/Motif compliant widget that offers the application developer a powerful way of creating 3D data displays.

  Built upon the OpenGL graphics library, View3D is capable of rendering a wide range of 3D data types, from simple surfaces to complex geometric shapes. It is ideally suited for use as a 3D front-end for technical applications.

  A major benefit of View3D is its ease of use. Developers with no special knowledge of computer graphics or OpenGL can create impressive 3D visualizations in just a few hours. View3D insulates the user from the complexities of OpenGL programming, while still providing comprehensive functionality.
