[x3d-public] Questions on correct nodes to display coordinatesystems on a map.

[Joseph D Williams]

➢ I'm pretty sure I could do coordinates with a parametric script.

Hi John,
I think that is one way to do hanim deformable skin, under the covers, given the user defined bindings, weights, and displacements.

➢ display and store the graphics or equations behind coordinate systems in X3D

you can always put descriptive stuff in metadata nodes.

I'm looking at way to display and store the graphics or equations behind coordinate systems in X3D, either as a function, method, data or some combination.  i am not sure which is better. I was wondering if you knew?  I am thinking of "Smooth Collections" (which is a type of shampoo) as a generalization beyond all possible coordinates or hypercoordinates. Or is it more like don't mix shampoo with your coffee?  Do ESRI shape files contain methods or functions?   Is FVRML and FX3D still not in the standard?  Can we "render" a geoSystem in X3DOM or X_ITE? Is it possible to create a Skew coordinate system that is displayed?

This is a job for D3.js! or something like it in X3D!  Or both!
Another thing that could be shown with similar technology would be property lines.
Yes, I mean in 3D.   Say I wanted to display changing property lines over time.
I'm pretty sure I could do coordinates with a parametric script.
Thanks,
John
