geomview

["M.H. Syn" <mhs at eng.cam.ac.uk>]

i've been using geomview for a couple of weeks now, and its come in very 
handy. sometime in the near future, i will need to display a 
volume-rendered image in a window, and superpose a wireframe image on top 
of that, with interactive input. i can't see that this can be done using 
gcl since it does not provide a background pixmap facility (or something 
of this sort). any suggestions welcome.

also, i run geomview on a remote ss10 due to storage tightness. the 
X-connection is a major bottleneck (CPU only about 15%). we have a few 
local SGIs (Indigos upgraded to 150MHz R4400). if there are sufficiently 
strong reasons (i.e. more functionality than sparc version), i can 
approach the sysadmins. again any suggestions welcome.

excellent job by the geomview team.
