Syntax:
javaview_nosym(surface_handle, filename, destination, source, open_html)

Description:
This function generates output files for Javaview (www.javaview.de).
It allows to display and interact with 3d-Graph not only in the
javaview engine, but also in html-Documents. See javaview
documentation for more information about how to interact.

This function depends of the installed toolboxes. If the Symbolic Math Tooolbox (SMT) is installed, the html is
exported half automatically/ half manually. If the SMT is not installed the function will open the
generated stl file in JavaView and you must modify the result manually (see without_mupad.pdf for further
information) and export it to html. Don't forget to have your jars-directory in the html-file.

With SMT there are 4 output files:
a) first file (.stl)is generated by the surf2stl function (Many
thanks to Bill McDonald, this function is availabe at the MCFE
and was pick of the week on June 5th, 2009)
b) the second and third file (jvx) and (jvd) are input files for
javaview and are generated by mupad (or javaview). The jvx-file describes the
3d-graph, the jvd file descrribes scene options
c) the last file is an html file, were the 3d-Graph is displayed

Because the applet in html file need the javaruntime for javaview the
jars directory from the "source" (input parameter) directory is copied
to the destination folder.
open_html is true or false. When it is true your standard webbrowser is
opened and you will see the surface in the html file.

Parameter:
1. surface_handle - handle to surface graph
2. filename - filename for *.stl, .jvx, *.jvd, *.html
3. destination - folder where all files are saved
4. source - source folder of jars (see jvaview installation path)
5. open_html - shows the result html in your standard webbrowser

Sorry for the work around with the handmade copy and paste when to
generate the javaview files with SMT. But evalin(symengine, ...) does not produce
the required files.

Example:
su=2*pi/150;
sv=2*pi/20;
[u,v]=meshgrid(0:su:(2*pi),0:sv:(2*pi));
r1=2;
r2=0.4;
r3=0.3;
p1=2;
p2=3;
x=r1*cos(u*p1) + r2*cos(u*p1).*cos(u*p2) +r3*cos(u*p1).*sin(v);
y=r1*sin(u*p1) + r2*sin(u*p1).*cos(u*p2) +r3*sin(u*p1).*sin(v);
z=r2*sin(u*p2)+r3*cos(v);
h=surf(x,y,z);
javaview_nosym(h, 'test', 'C:\Users\sk\Desktop\3d-PDF\jvtest', 'C:\Program Files (x86)\JavaView\jars', 1);

The Code was created under Matlab 2010a, but it also works without Symbolic Math Toolbox from version Matlab 7.0.4 (R14, SP2)
