Re: GSoC project - implementing 3d plots

[Jean Bréfort <jean brefort normalesup org>]

All the work to be done for 3d plots is in Goffice. The data support in
Gnumeric is already there.

We are interested in surface plots at the moment, and I already made
some work last summer. There is a patch at
http://jean.brefort.free.fr/surfaces.patch.bz2, but I'm not sure it
would still apply without conflict. I also posted sample image of a
surface (with transparency) http://jean.brefort.free.fr/surface1.png.

What is missing? Many, many things, the most urgent being:
- the axes;
- a user interface for the 3d view settings.

You might contact me directly on irc or im (jbrefort jabber fr)

You are welcome,
Best regards,

Jean
