Know About Image_3D Package in PHP

Jakob Westoff in a post over his blog informs you about a driver for Image_3D package that is written in PHP. He tells you while writing a simple 3D renderer; he decided to do something more unusual. He started over and began to write an ECMA Script based on 3D renderer for browsers, which understand the new ‘canvas’ tag. After some simple tests he realized that it would be good to implement this as a driver for Image_3D package, which is entirely written in PHP.

He says the results of his experiments was a flexible output driver which is capable of storing the final render in SVG or PNG, entirely done in ECMA Script.

He further informs you that currently the renderer only works flawlessly in Firefox. The known compatibility issues will be fixed in future releases.

You can obtain this output driver together with the bleeding edge version of Image_3D from its CVS repository.
