I'm looking for any (hopefully PD) graphics packages that can run on a Sun
(in this case, a 4/110 with a color fb). I'm looking for general info on
what might be out there to do various different kinds of things, but my
most immediate need is for presentation graphics (slide shows).
For the immediate problem, I need:
- Minimally, something that can put up moveable/scaleable block font
characters on the screen, hopefully in color, hopefully with some
control over background also.
- Possibly also, something that's able to create and manipulate arbitrary
objects on the screen.
- Maximally, something in which I can create and manipulate 3D objects on
the screen, possibly also with source light control, shading, etc.
I realize this is a pretty tall order, especially for something that would
be public domain, but that's what I'm after.
Anyone out there got any info on such a beastie? Please reply directly to
this ID if possible. Thanks!
