Geometry File Formats supported by JavaView
JavaView currently reads and writes the following geometry and configuration files. Some geometry file format are supported partially only.
Import
| Jvx, Bd, Byu, Dxf, Fe, Mgs, Mpl, Obj, Off, Stl, Wrl. | Jvd, Jvr |
Export
| Jvx, Byu, Fe, Mgs, Mpl, Obj, Off, Stl, Wrl. | Jvd |
File Formats
| Jvx | Geometry file format for curves, surfaces and volumes in n-dimensional space. Default format of JavaView to store one or more geometries and animations. (XML based) (example) |
| Bd | In-house format to describe surface in terms of macro patches including time-dependent grids. Supplemental file format used in JavaView. (example) |
| Byu | Classic Brigham Young University file format for surfaces in 3D. (example) |
| Dxf | AutoCAD geometry objects. (partial implementation) (example) |
| Fe | Ken Brakke's Surface
Evolver geometry file format for variation problems with
boundary constraints. (partial implementation, scripting ignored, no parameters) (example) |
| Mgs | Mathematica graphics objects may be piped into JavaView or read from file. Use JavaView's add-on packages for Mathematica to save/load graphics in the MGS format from within Mathematica. (description pending) (example) |
| Mpl | Maple graphics objects may be piped into JavaView or read from file. Use JavaView's add-on packages for Maple to save/load graphics in the MPL format from within Maple. (description pending) (example) |
| Popular geometry format 3D geometry file format for surfaces in 3D originally used in Wavefront's Advanced Visualizer™ and now by Sun's Java3D. The JavaView loader supports the restricted specification by Sun. (example). | |
| Off | OFF File format (description pending, unsupported) (example) |
| Stl | Popular format for CAD surface models in 3D, especially for stereo-lithography models, very inefficient storage. (example) |
| Wrl | Popular VRML file format for interactive scene. (partial implementation of Vrml 2.0, scripting ignored, Vrml 1.0 unsupported) (example) |
Further, JavaView uses the following file formats for its own configuration.
| Jvd | Camera and display settings of JavaView. Load and save in the same way as a geometry file. (example). |
|
Jvr |
Configuration of a JavaView application includes author information, preferred window size and positions, font usage, menu selection and others. (not released yet) (example) |
