Right. In this day and age it's absolutely absurd to have a Java dependency just to render 3D models. If there's something about the Tachyon plots that's inferior to the Jmol plots, or at least noticeably different, we should fix that (for the HTML docs why not use threejs by default across the board?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
