Display and Navigation
Most of the navigation features for the Web Viewer are the same as for the Simulink 3D
Animation Viewer and the 3D World Editor Virtual world display pane. For details
about Simulink 3D Animation Viewer navigation, see “Navigate Using the Simulink 3D
Animation Viewer” on page 7-18.
Some differences between the two viewers include:
• The Web Viewer does not include a menu bar.
• For virtual worlds with undefined background colors, the Web Viewer uses the
default canvas color of the browser; the Simulink 3D Animation Viewer uses a black
background.
The supported navigation features depend on what Web browser you use. For example,
at the time R2013b was released, Firefox
®
was the only supported Web browser that
supports context menu options that are specific to Simulink 3D Animation, such as
viewpoints options.
To determine whether the HTML5-enabled browser that you want to use supports
WebGL (Web Graphics Library), see http://www.x3dom.org/?page_id=9.
