Hello,

I'd like to render scientific 3d plots via x3d and I
have some questions:

1) Is there any library generating those plots in x3d ?
2) Which browser plugin do you recommend ?
3) Is it possible to render a 3d graph to 2d, in the case
that the user has now plugin installed ?
4) Is there a good book concerning x3d or some tutorials ?

I tried google, but did not find anything useful.

Greetings, Uwe

But for me the FIRST hit on Google brings up the very site you need to
know about! (http://www.web3d.org). Looking through the site you will I
think find answers to most of your questions.

I have used the Octaga Player (under WindowsXP with IE6) successfully.
