Hello,

  You must be referring to OpenGL graphics. Unfortunately, the current
source distribution of Geomview doesn't have support for the OpenGL api.
However, the next version should. We've added a driver to the mg
library that should support OpenGL fully. I have a set of files that
you could use to "patch" the current source distribution, making
it OpenGL capable. However, I've only had time to check that it
compiles and runs on SGIs under Irix 5.3. Theoretically it should compile
and work under Solaris w/ OpenGL and Motif but there are no guarantees.
If you're interested in experimenting with this code, send me email.
