[R] 3d java etc.

[Ben Bolker]

  There was some interest in the commands for creating an HTML file of
3D graphics that can be shown with a Java applet.
  Looking at things I discovered (of course) that I should really clean up
quite a few things before releasing it for real.  I hope to do some of
that this weekend.
  In the meanwhile, here are a couple of pointers to the Java applet &
documentation (apparently free for non-commercial use but not for
commerce):

  I will put my code up (completely undocumented and halfway through
cleanup) at http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/mmagrid.R for anyone who's
really eager.  Essentially all it does is to translate 3d objects into
Mathematica format: I have functions mma.text(), mma.line(), mma.point(),
etc., plus a variety of utility functions.
  To clarify, one need not have Mathematica installed; the applet is
simply using Mathematica format as a description language for 3D objects.
