Shelter's 3d Plot Window for a list of Points?

hallo Friedrich,

why not use gnuplot via draw3d?
Do you see advantages in using openmath?
It seems not to be developed anymore ..

Hello list,

using the command

--> plot3d(x**2-y**2, [x,-5,5], [y,-5,5],
[plot_format,openmath])$

there opens "Shelter's 3d Plot Window", where it is possible
to rotate the displayed graph.

is it possible to do similar with a list of points? I nedd
the ra?tation.

for example:
I want to define the edges of a tetrahedron:

--> pA: [1,1,1];  pB:[-1,-1,1]; pC:[-1,1,-1]; pD:[1,-1,-1]

then a List

--> L_tetra:float([pA,pB,pC,pA,pD,pC,pD,PB])

and genarate in "Shelter's 3d Plot Window" ( or similar)  its
picture with

--> plot3d([discrete,float(L_tetra)],[plot_format,openmath])

but this option doesn't exist.

Is ther an other way?
