2D export options are available as well.

Versatile input device support

With Dune 3D, you can make best use of modern laptop’s pointing devices. Apart from pixel-precision zooming and panning using touchpads or trackpoints, you can use touchscreen gestures such as pinch-to-zoom.

3D input devices are supported via libspnav.
