RE: 3D viewer in ROOT 4.02

 Hi Ralf,

The changes are now in CVS - if you follow the latest version. However I would draw your (and other people's attention) to these notes:

> 1. Current scheme supports one 3D viewer only - pad, x3d or OpenGL.
This
> means that pad goes blank when x3d/OGL is spawned, and is updated
again

> previously) so does not rebuild - too difficult to get working.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.

Hi Ralf,

I'm not sure why the old OGL viewer would not connect to a 'readonly' pad - but there is no reason why the new one will not - so this may no longer be needed.

I presume in this case you would expect the OGL viewer to respect the non-editable state of the pad contents - if it offers editing facilities itself.

Thanks for the infomation.
