	Ivy is a Scheme binding for Open Inventor. The Ivy package provides
an interpreted language interface (via Scheme) for nearly all of the
classes in the Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.

	New features in version 1.1 include:
          - Optional arguments to functions are now supported
          - Tools for calling Scheme from C++ are included
          - Type casting functions for Ivy backend now work
          - Includes IvyView, a sample Inventor viewer using the Ivy backend

	Ivy is available from the Ivy Home Page at

          http://www-white.media.mit.edu/~kbrussel/Ivy/

Ivy was generated using Header2Scheme, an automatic C++ header file
to Scheme interface generator. Background information on Ivy's
creation is available from the Header2Scheme Page at

          http://www-white.media.mit.edu/~kbrussel/Header2Scheme/
