[Philip Quaife] ''12 Oct 05''

This is part of my evolving Software showcase. I have released this
as to demonstrate what is possible with careful programming under Tcl.

No one would expect Quake like animations from a scripting language, but it is surprising how close we can get.

'''Where'''
I have packaged up some starpacks as:
 [http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~wowbagge/Tcl-Kits/Qanim-linux.exe|Linux]
	[http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~wowbagge/Tcl-Kits/Qanim-win32.exe|Win32]

It may still be available via [autoKit] at http://qs.co.nz/Download.html
but as of 14 Oct 05 my ISP has indicated they are pulling the plug
on wholesale cgi access.

Basic screen shot if available [http://qs.co.nz/cgi-bin/kitImage.cgi?App=Qanim].

'''Features'''

   * Event System. 
   * High level abstraction. 
   * Access to low level openGL commands. 
   * Super fast. 
   * Interface with snack sound system. 
   * Source code included. 
   * Rotated, scaled, antialiased , Gradient, texture mapped text (all at the same time!). 
   * Support for Images. 
   * Geometric construction systems. 
   * Path layout. 
   * Picking and Selection by object. 
   * Nested objects. 

'''Why?'''

There are a number of 3D systems for Tcl. The latest is [http::/canvas3d.tcl.tk]. I am not trying to compete with any of these.
I present here a ''different'' way of implementing extensibilty than the normal 'C extension' path.

This basic system does not give you much of a feel for how it extension works, but suffice to say it is as easy as defining a ''proc''.

Documentation will appear shortly.
