[comp.sys.next] 3D graphics in Nextstep

rgc@wam.umd.edu (Ross Garrett Cutler) (10/25/90)

Hello,
	In Nextstep, you draw all of your 2D graphics with DPS.  But DPS
is only a 2D page model -- what about 3D?  Is their a library for 3D
calls (that wouldn't use DPS)?  If not, what do people do out there
for 3D plots (aside from Mathematica, which we can't count on to be
there anymore)?

Also, is there a higher level that just drawing your graphics in DPS calls
in C? I currently use GKS3D (a worldwide standard) on a DS3100; please tell 
me I have an equivalent in terms of power (hidden line removal, etc.)
on the NeXT.

Thanks in advance...
