We are looking for a Mac program which can draw a 2D or 3D object
from a set of data providing the coordinates of nodes and a
connectivity matrix describing how the nodes are joined together as
elements.  This work is for illustrating finite element meshes and
finite difference grids, and should permit hidden line drawings and
rotation of the final object.  It would be nice if EPS output were
available, but this is not absolutely necessary.  We would appreciate
any suggestions or comments.

Thanks,
