Hello Venkat,

Unfortunately there is no unified technical overview of the source
code for geomview.  However there is quite a bit of built in
documentation as part of the source code and header files.  For
instance, the file $GEOMROOT/src/bin/geomview/common/drawer.h has a
great deal of information about the internal data structures used by
geomview to maintain the object hierarchy.  Also there are pieces of
documentation here and there throughout the source tree, for example
$GEOMROOT/src/lib/mg/mg.doc ... and so forth.  Other than these types
of documentation, you are pretty much on your own.

Hope this answers your question,
Daeron
