LiveGraphics3D
One of the useful features of webMathematica is its integration with the LiveGraphics3D applet. This applet displays Mathematica three-dimensional graphics and provides support for features such as interactive rotation and resizing. It is shipped with webMathematica and is used by the command MSPLive3D. The applet has been carefully developed so that it works in a wide range of different Java-enabled browsers.
