cmss Communication between Octave and FreeWRL

Octave communicates with FreeWRL by writing VRML code to a temporary file

/tmp/octave_vrml_output.wrl
and sending a signal so that FreeWRL reads the file and raises its window. The Octave function that takes care of this is

vrml_browse (str) ,
which takes as argument a single string that contains the VRML code. Another function unfortunately is useful :

vrml_kill () .
This kills the current browser. Unfortunately, the browser sometimes hangs and it is on that occasion that this function is useful.
