Hi,

My name is Yue Dong and I've been working in Gary Bader's lab since
around May 2011 to develop a 3D renderer plugin for Cytoscape 3. The
plugin uses OpenGL and accesses it through the JOGL wrapper library
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_OpenGL) which allows access to
OpenGL from Java.

The prepackaged version can be found at: http://wiki.cytoscape.org/Cytoscape_3/3D_Renderer

During runtime, the plugin effectively replaces Ding as Cytoscape's
network renderer. Integration with VizMapper is not yet complete. Node
label rendering is not yet finalized as the current implementation
uses a JOGL component to perform texture-mapped font rendering but
this component does not have a complete API.

Feedback would be welcome, especially from anyone interested in the
direction of the user interface.

Thanks!
