Demo of 3D Viewer of JavaView

This page is intended to do a first step with JavaView and, mainly, test your Java environment. Before JavaView is able to run, a small compressed library of about 250kb is automatically downloaded. Rotate geometry by moving mouse inside viewer window and drag while left mouse button pressed.

The sample model is a torus colored by its discrete Gauss curvature. Additionally, vertex normals shown and some vertices are marked. Use the material panel to switch display of certain features. Use the menu Method -> Mark -> Remove Marked Vertices to delete the rectangles adjacent to the marked vertices.

Press right mouse button to select major interaction mode from popup menu, or use keyboard keys to temporarily switch between different modes (just keep a button pressed to switch mode temporarily). Some essential modes are:

o	Rotate surface (this Orbit mode is the default mode)
s	Scale surface, drag in vertical direction
t	Translate surface in viewing plane
r	Reset camera and display, object returns to default position
f	Focus geometry to center and fill display
F1 or Ctrl-s or Right-Mouse	Show control window
Help	With all keyboard shortcuts, and help on problems.

To modify appearance of the geometry press F1 or Ctrl-s to open the control panel and select the material panel (if not visible) via menu Inspector - Object - Material. Be sure that the mouse focus is inside the viewer otherwise, e.g., the window manager might react. To hide the control panel press F2.
