Octave communicates with FreeWRL by writing VRML code to a temporary
file
-
- /tmp/octave_vrml_output.wrl
and sending a signal so that FreeWRL reads the file and raises its
window. The Octave function that takes care of this is
-
- vrml_browse (str) ,
which takes as argument a single string that contains the VRML code.
Another function unfortunately is useful :
-
- vrml_kill () .
This kills the current browser. Unfortunately, the browser sometimes
hangs and it is on that occasion that this function is useful.
