Simple back-face culling, depth cueing, and z-buffer for hidden surface removal are used. Several parameters are provided, including initial position, spinning mode, displaying mode, scale, overall transparency, etc.

[Parameters]: Four sample data files are provided (ThreeDimView_blocks.txt, ThreeDimView_helicopter_1.txt, ThreeDimView_helicopter_n.txt, and ThreeDimView_face.txt). Edit one of the data files (or create your own) according to the format in the commented HTML example. (Cut and paste the code in this commented HTML example, ThreeDimView.html)
