Is there a function like tvrd() for xplot3d?
My goal is to automatically produce an animation of a rotating object,
saving each frame as an image or into a TIFF stack, so that I can make
a movie to show others.
I'm also interested in exporting the 3D data as a VRML file so that
people can interact with it on the web.
Thanks.

Ooooh....I am using 7.0. Time to upgrade. Thank you! I'll try it
out.

It is builtin (starting with IDL 8).

Dr. Fanning,
I've begun hacking around in the xplot3d.pro code itself, as you
suggested. Hopefully I can figure it out. Thanks!
Paulo,
I am not sure which plot3d function you are talking about. Where
do I get a copy? Thanks!

Would it not be something like
p=plot3d(indgen(10),indgen(10),indgen(10),sym_object=orb(col or=[255,0,0],radius=3.0))
?

Well, I still think it can be done in less than a half
hour by modifying the XPlot3D code itself. :-)
Cheers,
David
