3D World

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

>From the docs describing the 3d_coords directive:

"This variable is used to define coordinates to use when drawing the host in
the statuswrl CGI. Coordinates can be positive or negative real numbers. The
origin for drawing is (0.0,0.0,0.0). For reference, the size of the host
cubes drawn is 0.5 units on each side (text takes a little more space). The
coordinates you specify here are used as the center of the host cube."

Unless I missed something, this means that this specifies the X,Y,Z
coordinates of the image, and that the size of the image is a constant.
