Mathematica Documentation

[munzner]

Chapter 9 of the manual is the only written documentation on the
Mathematica/Geomview converter. I will try to answer any specific
questions you might have. 

>in respect of saving Geomview3D figures with Mathematica.  

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here. 

To see a Mathematica Graphics3D or SurfaceGraphics object in Geomview,
load the Geomview.m package. Then the objects will appear in a dynamic
Geomview window instead of a static PostScript window.

To save a Mathematica object into a file in the OOGL graphics format,
which can later be read by Geomview, load the "OOGL.m" package and use
the "WriteOOGL" command, as below.
