+ <h2><b>3D Viewing Format<br>
+ </b></h2>
+ Gamut and other 3D output visualisations can be created in one of 3
+ formats:<br>
+ <br>
+ <b>VRML</b><br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A legacy web 3D file format, using the <b>.wrl</b>
+ file extension.<br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Either a standalone viewer of a web browser
+ plugin is needed to view the file.<br>
+ <br>
+ <b>X3D</b><br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A current web 3D file format modeled after VRML,
+ using the <b>.x3d</b> file extension.<br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Either a standalone viewer of a web browser
+ plugin is needed to view the file.<br>
+ <br>
+ <b>X3DOM</b><br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An HTML file using a javascript viewer and an X3D
+ scene, using the <b>.x3d.html</b> file extension.<br>
+ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any web browser supporting javascript and WebGL
+ can be used to display this.<br>
+ <br>
+ By default ArgyllCMS tools will output VRML format, but the defaul
+ can be overridden by setting the environment variable<br>
+ <b>"ARGYLL_3D_DISP_FORMAT"</b> to <b>"VRML"</b>, <b>"X3D"</b> or <b>"X3DOM"</b><br>
+ <br>
+ Note that the X3DOM file has references to the x3dom.css and
+ x3dom.js support files in the same directory as the created
+ .x3d.html file, and the tools will create a copy of these files in
+ that directory if they don't exist. These two files must be copied
+ with the .x3d.html if it is moved somewhere else.<br>
+ <br>
+ To check if your browser supports X3DOM, try <a
+ href="http://www.x3dom.org/check/">this test page</a>.<br>
+ <br>
+ X3DOM navigation in Web browser:<br>
+ <p>"Examine" - default viewing mode, which can be<br>
+ re-activate this mode by pressing the "e" key.</p>
