# What Is Geomview?

Geomview is an interactive program for viewing and manipulating geometric objects, written by staff members of the Geometry Center. It can be used as a standalone viewer for static objects or as a display engine for other programs which produce dynamically changing geometry. It runs on Silicon Graphics (SGI) IRIS workstatons and NeXT workstations, and on a variety of systems using generic X graphics and Motif interface. This manual describes SGI Geomview version 1.6.1.

## Authors

Tamara Munzner, Stuart Levy, and Mark Phillips are the original authors of Geomview. Celeste Fowler, Charlie Gunn, and Nathaniel Thurston also made significant contributions. Daniel Krech and Scott Wisdom did the NeXTStep and RenderMan port, and Daeron Meyer and Tim Rowley did the port to X windows.

Mark Phillips wrote this manual, with substantial help from Stuart Levy and Tamara Munzner. Countless Geomview users have also been of great help by reading it and pointing out mistakes.
