- Amiga Plot V2.1 Joe Martin 11/90 (C)Copyright 1990

-
- Amiga Plot is a three dimesional mathematical function plotter. It
- takes a function, derived by the user, parses it into a partially
- compiled form and then calculates coordinates to be placed in the xyz
- system. AmigaPlot use hidden line removal based on a principle known
- as the painters algorithm. Each time AmigaPlot goes to the screen it
- places a filled polygon. Starting from the most distant part of the
- plot it is constantly placing filled polygons in front of other
- polygons there by covering the hidden portions of the plot. Many
- aspects of the plot are user variable so that almost any combination
- of rotations, perspectives, and parameters for any function can
- produce infinite results. AmigaPlot is not intended for statistical
- analysis and the precision of the plot or its scale are not guaranteed.
- The use of color in the plot can produce very pleasing effects
- especially when a feathered pallet is used. The idea of AmigaPlot is to
- provide an artistic approach to the sometimes dry subjects of Analytical
- Geometry and Trigonometry.
