      Description: interactive 3D viewing program
      Long Description: Geomview is an interactive 3D viewing program for Unix. It lets you view and manipulate 3D objects: you use the mouse to rotate, translate, zoom in and out, etc. It can be used as a standalone viewer for static objects or as a display engine for other programs which produce dynamically changing geometry. It can display objects described in a variety of file formats. It comes with a wide selection of example objects, and you can create your own objects too.

      ---> Configuring geomview
      ---> Building geomview with target all
      ---> Staging geomview into destroot
      ---> Installing geomview
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using geomview with these commands:
