Re: GSoC project - implementing 3d plots

[Mariusz Adamski <mariusz adamski gmail com>]

Hi,

I've played a little bit with your patch to figure out what is already done. I 
couldn't get it worked with current version since it relays on files removed 
in revision 1890, but I've managed to apply it on revision 1819. It looks 
like plugin compiled with rev. 1819 works with current version of Gnumeric 
(although I've got some segfaults sometimes; maybe because of ABI conflict), 
but I guess the first task would be to "port it" on actual version of 
GOffice. When I familiarize myself a little bit with the code, it shouldn't 
take a long time.

Kind regards,
Mariusz
