VTP web plugin (vtocx)   Message List  
Reply Message #5214 of 6036 |
The VTP runtime is very flexible. It can run inside almost any application
framework, on any platform, including an ActiveX control (.ocx), for embedding a
3D scene inside a web page viewed with Internet Explorer (or any other OLE
container). There is now a very simple example, vtocx, which shows how to do
this. It is (so far) a very basic 'alpha release'.

For those interested, please check out:
http://vterrain.org/Doc/vtocx.html

There is a binary provided, for those on Windows to use with Internet Explorer,
so you don't need to be a programmer to use it. There is also source code
checked into SVN. Please send feedback; if vtocx works without any major
problems, i'll add it to the next official VTP release.

Note that the terrain data does still need to be on a filesystem that your
computer can access, i.e. not a URL.

... IMHO, for future development we could and should enable network IO in place of file IO; no new protocols or file formats are needed. HTTP should suffice,...
