Fractal Staircase

One hundred line segments in 3D

In this example I use 100 line segments in 3D. All segments have random size, color and location. In MuPAD lines were created as tubes with random diameter. In JavaView at the time of developing this example we do not have solid primitives. Therefore, tubes are still displayed as thin lines.

The same model in JavaView with a few improvements. I added in JavaView the

JavaView

The same model in JavaView with a few changes. I simulated here the tubular look by turning on two JavaView features: Enable 3D-look, and Adaptive Size. Both are beta features in JavaView (19/10/2005). The obtained image is very similar, but this is not exactly the same what we got in MuPAD. I guess, I have to make more experiments in order to check how xvc2jvx is doing this transformation.
