We present a new, three-dimensional (3D) plotting library with advanced
features, and support for standard and enhanced display devices. The library -
S2PLOT - is written in C and can be used by C, C++ and FORTRAN programs on
GNU/Linux and Apple/OSX systems. S2PLOT draws objects in a 3D (x,y,z) Cartesian
space and the user interactively controls how this space is rendered at run
time. With a PGPLOT inspired interface, S2PLOT provides astronomers with
elegant techniques for displaying and exploring 3D data sets directly from
their program code, and the potential to use stereoscopic and dome display
devices. The S2PLOT architecture supports dynamic geometry and can be used to
plot time-evolving data sets, such as might be produced by simulation codes. In
this paper, we introduce S2PLOT to the astronomical community, describe its
potential applications, and present some example uses of the library.Comment: 12 pages, 10 eps figures (higher resolution versions available from

available for download from http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/s2plo
Compared with the arrow conditions, sidestepping in response to the defender(s) resulted in different postures and knee moments, which further differentiated between high-level and low-level players in the complex 2DS. These findings highlight the effects of stimuli realism and complexity on the visual-perceptual-motor skill of sidestepping, which has implications for anterior cruciate ligament injury prevention.
