I need as many objects as possible in ascii format.  Let me explain what I mean.
I need a file that when graphed on a coordinate system, will be a picture.
I don't care what of (a world map is fine).  I hope that the file format
will be in the form:  x1,y1 to x2,y2...x2,y2 to x3,y3  etc.. Something that
can be read easily and such.  If you have such a file, please mail it to me.
I need this for a project to convert the file over to polar and re-graph it
to see how well the conversion was from the original.

If you know of a CAD or similar program that already can do the above, please
mail me.  (Also, since I don't have that program and I need the ASCII ASAP!,
please send an ASCII object file..)

what I have :  8 points in space denoting the vertices of a rectangular box.

what I want :  projection of an ellipsoid that is fitted into the rectangular

The box that bounds the ellipsoid is subject to rotation in all

Your message implies that you are using [cd]jpeg as a conversion utility
to convert between gif and targa.  If this is true, then you are using
it for a purpose for which it was not meant.  Although jpeg is great
for storing 24 bit images, it will cause a needless loss of information
in your conversion process.

Also, I wasn't aware that cjpeg can directly compress a gif file.  Instead,
cjpeg expects a ppm (or targa) file.

A better way to convert between gif and targa is with a public domain
raster toolkit sush as pbmplus.  Here is an example of how one would
perform the conversion.

giftoppm file.gif | ppmtotga >file.tga

	Besides, have you ever timed a Jpeg to Gif conversion? small ones

Welcome relief from the stream of hardware- and IFF-specific questions!

I have implemented parts of Hypertexture myself.  To start I defined an
object that consists of a core and exterior.  Density within the core is 
1.0; density at the exterior is 0.0; density varies from 0 to 1 depending 
on how close to the core you are.  For now spheres are used as cores and 
exteriors, though other objects should also be possible.

I also implemented Perlin's Noise, DNoise and other functions.  Those are
just tools to mess around with vectors before you pass them to the density
function.  Then, I wrote a function called DMF takes a vector, messes around
with it somehow, and returns the resulting density.  Varying DMF varies the
visual appearance--fur, fireball, etc. have different DMF's.  For the fireball
(the only type I have yet attempted), DMF adds turbulence to the vector before
computing the density.

The SoftObject is treated like a CSG union--if you hit, you get a bunch
of spans that traverse the object (usually just one).  March along this
span, computing densities and turning them into colors, computing gradients 
and turning them into normals, pumping that through the rendering equation 
and keeping track of accumulated density until you've finished marching or the
accumulated density goes over 1.0.

The problem with my implementation is this: if no turbulence is added,
the fireball looks like I guess it should.  It's a sphere with a red corona
and yellow interior.  But I haven't figured out how much turbulence to add, 
or what vector to compute the turbulence with.  If I add turbulence
the sphere turns bright yellow instead of turning into a fireball.  Also,
it's not entirely clear how much room should be between the core and
exterior spheres.  Should the interior sphere be, say, 100 units' radius
while the exterior sphere is 500 units radius?  Or should they be closer
in radius, say 400 and 500 units?

I'm pretty sure I've got the implementation details right, but I haven't
taken the time to figure out what the various parameters should be.  I'd 
work on it more but I can only stomach it a few days at a time (test images 
take _forever_! :-)

Date: 17 Apr 92 01:35:26 GMT
Organization: Michigan State University College of Stunt Piloting

I've been playing with some simple image-processing programs lately,
and I've come across something that has me stumped.  When scanned images
are converted to GIF format, they are dither down to 256 colors.  I
pesonally think that this dithering usually looks lousy, but as I don't
have access to 24-bit pictures or displays, I have to make do.

What I`ve been trying to do is write a program that takes a dithered
color image and smooths out the dithered areas into flat colors without 
losing too much detail.  I'm working with cartoon images, which lets
me assume that any area will either be a flat color, a black outline,
or some color gradient.

Problem is, anything I try comes out messy or smudged.  Has anyone out
there come up with an algorithm for "de-dithering"?  Or has anyone
found a good reference on the subject?

Thanx in advance - JK

I've got some large EPS-pictures (~450k) which takes quite
a lot CPU time to deal with.
What I want is to convert them into a vector-format (is Post-
Scipt such?), so that they will take less disk-space and less 
CPU-time will be used when manipulating them.
I use a Sparc-station (if that will help you.)

I am trying to find a program that will take a graphic image and convert it
to a polar line graph.  My idea was to possibly have an ASCII file of
rectangular points for an object and then convert and graph them in a polar
coordinate system.  I need two things for the is to happen - 1.  the ASCII
file (if you know of a CAD program that outputs in ascii, or a program to
convert a bitmap to structured and then ascii, please tell me) 2.  a 
polar graphing program.
