- The software implementation of the underlying 3-D graphics library
- for Object Graphics in IDL is provided via version 2.2 of the
- Mesa 3-D Graphics Library. Mesa is copyrighted by Brian Paul under the
- terms of the GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, found in the file
- gnu_library_license.txt in this directory.
-
- To comply with the terms of this license, RSI has taken the following steps:
-
- - When an IDL linked with Mesa starts up and prints the
- announcement message containing the Research Systems Copyright
- notice, it also prints a message asserting the Free Software
- Foundation copyright on Mesa and pointing you to this file for
- more information.
-
- - We obtained Mesa from the primary FTP repository
-
- ftp://iris.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/Mesa
-
- Any flags set by RSI to compile the library are noted below.
-
- - We agree to provide, upon your request, the machine-readable
- object code you need to link a new version of the Mesa library
- with IDL. You may submit such a request to RSI by sending
- e-mail to support@rsinc.com.

- RSI Requirements for Compiling Mesa
- -----------------------------------
-
- To ensure that the Mesa 3-D graphics libarary works with IDL, the following
- criteria must be met when compiling the library.
-
- 1. Define the USE_MGL_NAMESPACE to the C macro preprocessor.
- This is done by adding:
-
- -DUSE_MGL_NAMESPACE
-
- to the CFLAGS line for your platform in the file called Make-config
- in the Mesa distribution.
-
- 2. Make a sharable version of the library for your platform. If this
- option applies to your platform, an explanation of how to do this
- is found in the file called Makefile of the Mesa distribution.
