Hy folks, please remember that I’m rather new to all this, so please don’t shoot at the pianoman.
I work on geographic information systems and I’m trying to create a GUI for hydrological models trying to leave a door open to future developments towards 3D flighthroughs in elevation models.
I’ve tried some demos and examples and I really like Xith!
The fact is that I need a visualization engine which in a first step of the development of the interface performs 2D raster visualization. Only in a second step 3D rendering will be implemented. Does it make some sense to use Xith for this? Is there even a possibility to do this?
It seems to me that jogl will get the new standard for GL bindings, so, since my project starts now, I would like to start with the most updated stuff.
Moreover Xith supplies a lot of documentation and examples, even if not in 2D (that’s why I’m not really sure if it could work).
My dream would be to have a “false” 2D visualization, which could be dragged and twisted along axes and show what it really is: 3D.
Hope it was not to philosophic.
Every hint is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Andrea Antonello
