Subject: 3d display: x3d?
Dear Sage developers,

Is it possible to view an x3d file from a sage worksheet (assuming my
browser has the necessary plugin or java support for example)? I saw
numerous mentions of x3d support in the source code in plot/plot3d.  For
example if one generates a 'foo.png', the image is immediately and very
conveniently rendered.  This doesn't work if I save an x3d file.

The reason I ask is really simple.  mayavi2 can produce x3d files via
mlab.savefig('foo.x3d') for example (thanks to VTK) and freewrl is able
to view these pretty well.  I was wondering if there were a mechanism to
support this seamlessly on a notebook.  This would allow for very nice
integrated 3D display.  Alternatively, does jmol support display via x3d
files?  Ondrej has integrated mayavi2 with the notebook but it only
produces static images and I'd like to find an easy way to also provide
3D interactivity.  Here are a few simple examples from Ondrej's site
that I made from some mlab examples:

Another option would be to produce output suitable for use with jmol.
Would this require a pmesh exporter?

I'd appreciate any ideas on this.  Thanks.

cheers,
prabhu
