3D Bar Chart

Create a 3D bar chart [3D-Säulendiagramm] from numerical data provided in a text file or an XML file. You may specify your own file format. The user can edit the camera's position, orientation, and zoom setting interactively using the left mouse button, the right mouse button, and the scroll wheel, respectively.

Ideas for extensions: The user can select bars by clicking with the mouse (e.g., through Mesh.Intersect) and change their position and their color using the keyboard. Use 3D shapes imported as .x files for the bars. The user can specify colors and textures in the data file. The bars cast shadows on the ground (e.g., through Matrix.Shadow).
