SURF - Surface Shading Program

SURF, the Surface Shading Program, is developed in support of the work of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) scientists at NASA Ames Research Center. SURF's mouse-driven menu interface allows the user to create models consisting of a mixture of different types of parts (including Gouraud and smooth-shaded function mapped parts) that can be interactively viewed, deleted, or output to ARCGRAPH files. Source code is included. Developed for IRIS 2xxx/3xxx in 1988. Ported to IRIS 4-D in 1991. See also FAST, Flow Analysis Software Toolkit (ARC-13316).
