3D visualization

About

This is a web2py scaffolding app that includes a pure javascript widget for 3D visualization in the browser.

It is based on and includes the processing.js library developed by John Resig. You can rotate the image using the mouse. It can handle up to 1500 geometric primitives (lines, sheres, triangles). It is licensed under BSD license. The license does not cover nor overrides the processing.js license (in the code).

The widget (implemented in class P3D in file p3d.py) consists of server side Python code for building the object and client-side javascript code.

It DOES NOT REQUIRE web2py and can be used with any Python web framework.
