The package `OOGL.m' allows Mathematica to write graphics objects
in OOGL format. To use it, give the command << OOGL.m to
Mathematica to load the package. The
WriteOOGL[file,graphics] command writes an OOGL
description of the 3D graphics object graphics to the file named
file.
This package also provides the Geomview command which sends a
3D graphics object to Geomview. The first time you use this command
it starts up a copy of Geomview. Later calls send the graphics to the
same Geomview. There are two ways to use the Geomview command.
Geomview[graphics]
Mathematica. Subsequent usage of Geomview[graphics]
replaces the Mathematica object in Geomview with the new
graphics.
Geomview[name,graphics]

In[1] := <<OOGL.m
In[2] := Plot3D[Sin[x + Sin[y]], {x,-2,2},{y,-2,2}]
Out[2] := -Graphics3D-
This displays graphics in the usual Mathematica way here.
In[3] := WriteOOGL["math.oogl", %2] Out[3] := -Graphics3D-
This displays nothing new but writes the file `math.oogl'.
You can now load that file into Geomview on any computer. Alternately,
you can use the Geomview command to start up a copy of Geomview
from within Mathematica.
In[5] := Geomview[%2] Out[5] := -Graphics3D-
