Description:
Xmgf is an Interactive tool for displaying image feature files in gf 
format. Xmgf has a viewing window and controls over the orientation 
and focal point of a viewing camera. Xmgf written in motif is completely 
interactive and buttons exist for most command line options.

Xmgf was written to complement xgf
and to add 3D viewing properties. Xmgf also includes some of the
xgf 2D viewing primitives but allows them to be projected onto a plane 
in the third dimension such that the observer can move around and
observe the sets from a new perspective. 

Xmgf has already been used by for 3D surface representation,Model
representation, 3D line detection data representation, view-sphere 
data representation and depth data representation.

Xmgf Auto-scales images,can have the viewing parameters stored in a file
produce Xfig and Postscript and MIF output as well as RAYSHADE data files and
PGM, PBM and XBM SunRaster and GIF image outputs.

Xmgf has Interactive file selection menus to allow greater flexibility 
in finding files. 

Xmgf can read other CAD or object file formats via filters. current
formats include NFF/OBJ/OFF/RAY/SLA/DXF/MINICAD/IGRIP. 
These filters do not cover all the features available but they are a start.

You should read the README and MAKEBUGS in the tar file to find out 
what is needed to be set before building.

New Features:

Xmgf 2.3

	Configure problems                                              
	-O -O2 problems CDEBUGFLAS = -O by default no more              
	GUI.c Scale widget bug args[n] problem                         
	Checked cc build forgot to do before release         

Xmgf 2.3.2.Beta (Sorry last should have been an alpha release)
	Pixmaps.c char * unsigned char * problem for SGI 
	Polygon prototype on DrawDot,DrawCircle,etc.. removed

Xmgf 2.3.3.Alpha
	Adrian Hilton desired that autocommand scripts didn't use such
	memory. XmgfMalloc and XmgfFree introducted to remove problems
	of Malloc MALLOCDEBUG also used for people wanting to trace 
	malloc problems.

Xmgf 2.4
	Resource minimization. A few bug fixes and now 1000 limit anymore on
	object translation.
