p = vrml_browse ([s]) - View vrml code s with FreeWRL
vrml_browse ("-kill") - Kill the browser
s : string : VRML code, as returned by the vrml_XYZ functions.
If s is not specified, a sombrero is showed
p : int : pid of the current browser. If freewrl has not been started
or has died, a new one is started. p is zero or negative in
case of failure to start freewrl.
Some keystrokes for FreeWRL (more in the freewrl manpage) :
'e' : Examine : mouse 1 and drag rotates the scene
mouse 3 and drag moves closer/farther
'w' : Walk : mouse 1 and drag moves for/backward, turns
mouse 3 and drag translates parallel to the screen
's' : Save a snapshot in files 'octave.snapshot.NNNN.ppm'
'q' : Quit
WARNING : FreeWRL >0.25 (http://www.crc.ca/FreeWRL/) must be installed.
BUG : The vrml browser is not killed when octave exits. Sometimes the
vrml browser does not get raised or gets raised improperly
(shows the contents of the topmost window above it). Use
"-kill".
