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'.
