CGAL users discussion list

Greetings!

   I would greatly appreciate some guidance on the topic of visualization. I looked through the Visualization package and some of the previous discussion on the mailing list. There is some discussion related to: VTK, .off format, GeomView, and a QT framework. 

   I am working on Mac OS and download glc_player to visualize some of the .off files. Is .off the preferred format? 

   If my objective is to visualize the geometric entities in an example (for instance: https://doc.cgal.org/latest/Arrangement_on_surface_2/Arrangement_on_surface_2_2polylines_8cpp-example.html ), what would be the quickest way to do that? 

   Also, out of curiosity, how are the figures in the documentation, for example this (https://doc.cgal.org/4.8/Bounding_volumes/index.html#Chapter_Bounding_Volumes) obtained?  Is it using one of these frameworks? 

Thanks,

Manav
