3D Graphics, Animation, Rendering
3D computer graphics are different from 2D computer graphics in that a three-dimensional representation of geometric data is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images.
Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene. This can be compared to taking a photo or filming the scene after the setup is finished in real life.

Kpl
Kpl is a program for the KDE project (K Desktop Environment, http://www.kde.org/). Its purpose is the two- and three-dimensional graphical presentation of data sets and functions.
Multidimensional nonlinear parameter fits of functions to data sets can be performed using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Also general linear least square parameter fits are possible.
A DCOP interface can be used to control Kpl by other applications and scripts.
All settings necessary for a complete description of the presentation can be saved in plot files. These files as well as data files may be chosen by command line parameters, using the File menu, or by drag and drop.
Automatic scaling and normalization allow the easy graphical presentation of data. Also parameter fits can be performed automatically.
The settings of a presentation may be changed using the Edit menu. Here also additional data sets and functions can be included which can be displayed in the same as well as in different data windows.
Currently language support is given for english and german.
