MeshCat.jl is a Julia wrapper around three.js. It creates its own server and opens a webpage to access the server. | MeshCat.jl is a Julia wrapper around [http://threejs.org three.js] built using [https://github.com/JuliaGizmos/WebIO.jl WebIO.jl]. It creates its own server and opens a webpage to access the server. However, MeshCat.js is a bit lacking in documentation and does not expose all the features of three.js. We may need to extend it for additional features. | ||

====Updating Geometry==== | |||
After you update your geometry, say by changing your vertex positions, | |||
you need to call <code>setobject!</code> again for it to update. | |||
