Is there a way to build a 3D graphics object (e.g., a simple Tetrahedron) and manipulate it (e.g., rotate it in 3D) with the mouse? There is an example on webMathematica of just this, but I haven't figured out how to do it at all in plain ol' Mathematica. Does it matter what system I'm on (AIX 5.1 or WinXP)? I noticed that on AIX5.1, starting math kernel (no notebooks) that I can use Animate[] to make a movie of a rotating Tetrahedron. In XP, the same doesn't produce anything. On either system, in a notebook, I just get multiple graphics objects, one for each rotational position -- there's no live animation. Any guidance is appreciated. Jim Hafner hafner at almaden.ibm.com
