| JavaViewLib provides a superior
viewing environment to enhance plots in Maple. It adds many new features
to plots' interactivity, such as mouse-controlled scaling, translation,
and auto-view modes. JavaViewLib implements arc-ball rotation, making object
viewing smoother and less directionally constrained than in Maple. Furthermore,
JavaViewLib offers a point modeling feature that allows plots to be manually
manipulated. These features operate not
only in Maple worksheets but also in HTML exports! Below is a demonstration
you can try right on this web page.

Rotate this plot with the mouse! |
| Hold down the letter 's' and drag the mouse
to scale the plot |
| Hold down the letter 't' and drag the mouse
to translate the plot |
| Hit 'r' to reset the plot |
| Right-click on the plot for numerous other options |

However, the predominant feature of the JavaviewLib
is the capacity to export Maple-generated models into one of two applet
based viewers - one optimized for speed, the other for customizability.
No longer do plots need to be converted to static images when creating
html pages from Maple worksheets. One can also export plot data to a variety
of other formats such as VMRL or JavaViewLib's own XML format in which
data can be viewed as a markup tree or further developed. With JavaviewLib,
models created in other modeling applications such as Maya and Mathematica
can easily be imported into Maple's viewing environment.
