It has already been done. The program should be in /usr/demo/SRC/shaded.c, the shuttle data is in /usr/demo/DATA/space.dat. There are notes on running it in /usr/demo/README. The program displays 2 windows with cursor lines, to enable you to select the 3d viewpoint, and there's a pop-up menu for setting fill style and colour, &c. For monochrome you need to select the "edges" (I think) fill style or it'll look pretty wierd. Also, if your display surface doesn't support hidden surface removal, you'll get a wireframe effect that can be confusing to the eye. /usr/demo/DATA also contains data files for an icosahedron, a pyramid, a ball and a Klein bottle. -- From: Ralph Mitchell at Brunel University, Uxbridge, UB8, 3PH, UK JANET: ralph@uk.ac.brunel.cc ARPA: ralph%cc.brunel.ac.uk@cwi.nl UUCP: ...ukc!cc.brunel!ralph PHONE: +44 895 74000 x2561 "There's so many different worlds, so many different Suns" -- Dire Straits
