# Wiki 3D Browser

Wiki3d is a way to view and browse the wiki structure in 3D.

**Requires:**

- Java installed on local computer
- Enabling those options: 
    - "XMLRPC API" in Admin > Features > Programmer.
    - "Morcego 3D Browser" in Admin > Features > Experimentals.
    - "Enable wiki 3D browser:" in Admin > Wiki > Wiki 3D Browser Configuration.

## Using the 3D browser


Click on the little bat like icon : {img src="img/wiki_up/Tiki3Dicon.png" }

Then you'll get an image, if you have Java installed, like this: 
{img src="img/wiki_up/Wiki3d.png" }

### Now you can:

- Drag mouse on an empty space to rotate the graph
- Rotate fast and release, like throwing, to make it keep spinning
- Drag nodes to move them, the graph will balance itself again when you release
- Click nodes to navigate to them
- Click center node to open the node URL in your browser window
