Hello, some time ago I wrote a linux console terminal driver for gnuplot (a scientific plotting program) using some routines of the threeDKit which is distributed with the svgalib source. Recently I created a CVS branch in the gnuplot source, see http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=2055 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=2055 which contains this terminal driver. As the stuff in svgalib's threeDKit comes with the GPL, it was not possible to include it into the gnuplot source as this would conflict with the gnuplot license. Therefore I packed the contents of the threeDKit subdirectory into a standalone package `lib3dkit', see http://www.zellner.org/gnuplot/lib3dkit-1.4.tar.gz now, as this library seems to be pretty useful: are there plans to make this an official lib, I mean as it comes with the svgalib source it would not be a big task to make it there an *installable* library. If there would be an agreement to include lib3dkit as installable library I'd volunteer to set the stuff up (the automake/autoconf/libtool stuff). btw. Is there something like a CVS repository of the latest source ? best regards, -- Johannes
