About Minneview sources

[munzner]

About Luigi Niolu: This guy originally had geomview and wanted to know
about stereo viewing. See the message below I sent him on Aug 13 in
software.log, which mentions MinneView as a possibility if he
desperately needs stereo. I think it's a waste of his energy if we
just blindly tar up the current MinneView source tree, since it has no
hope of compiling. It's a waste of our energy to do anything more with
MinneView, since it would take as much energy to make the thing compile
on another machine as it would to implement stereo in geomview!

-----------
We have not implemented stereo viewing yet in geomview. The underlying
camera libraries have support for stereo viewing as used by MinneView,
the previous viewer. If you really need stereo now and don't need
multiple objects or cameras or anything else fancy, you could ftp
MinneView (it's in pub, not pub/geomview in the anonymous ftp
directory).
We do plan to implement stereo in geomview eventually, perhaps
differently than as done in the camera libraries.
