[ REQ 5963]: Questions About Geomview

[MPLESAC at mailgw.sanders.lockheed.com]

          Hello Software Support,
          
          My name is Michael Plesac and I am employed by Sanders, A 
          Lockheed Martin Company.  I work in the field of aircraft 
          cockpit displays.
          
          I recently started using Geomview to view 3D terrain which 
          is represented by triangular facets.  I do this by placing 
          the triangles in a ".off" file.
          
          I am running Geomview on a SGI machine that has "OpenGL" 
          installed.
          
          I would like to be able to map textures onto my triangular 
          polygons and display these textured triangular facets using 
          Geomview.
          
          Question #1 - Will Geomview allow me to display textured 
          triangles?
          
          Questiion #2 - Will Geomview allow me to do the actual 
          texturing?
          
          Question #3 - Does Geomview (SGI Version) utilize or support 
          GL or Open GL?
          
          Question #4 - If the answer to "Question #3" is yes does 
          this mean that there might be a way for me to modify 
          Geomview so that I can add texture to my triangles?
          
          Question #5 - What would be involved in 
          accomplishing "Question #4"?  How would I go about it?  (I 
          already downloaded the source code from the WEB site.)
          
          I have found Geomview very user friendly and that is why I 
          would like to be able to modify it so that it can support my 
          texture mapping needs.  If it is not possible to accomplish 
          this, then could you recommend another application that you 
          are familiar with which could fulfill the needs I have 
          described above.
          
          Thank you for your help,
