- Tool programs to generate input files for Win3D
- -----------------------------------------------
- These programs are listed and discussed in 'Programming Principles in
- Computer Graphics' by Leendert Ammeraal and from John Wiley, Ltd:
-
- TORUS.EXE generates a torus
- HOLLOW.EXE generates a hollow cylinder
- SEMISPH.EXE generates a semi-sphere
- FUNC.EXE generates the surface of any quadratic function z = f(x, y)
-
- These programs are listed and discussed in 'Interactive 3D Computer Graphics'
- by Leendert Ammeraal and from John Wiley, Ltd:
-
- TCYL.EXE generates a tee-joint of two cylinders
- SCRTHR.EXE generates a square screw thread
- CURVE3.EXE generates a 3D curve (see below)
- CABLE.EXE generates a 'cable' (see below)
-
- (TCYL.EXE was corrected so both cylinders may now have the same diameter.)
- The data-files with corresponding names are examples of generated output.
- The use of most of the above programs is straightforward. Program CURVE3
- asks for an input file, of which CURV_INP.DAT is an example. This input
- file was created with Win3D. The corresponding output file, CURVE3.DAT,
- can be used as input for CABLE.EXE to gives some thickness to the curve,
- turning it into a 'cable'.
