HP-PHIGS 2.3 on HP-UX 9.0 using Motif 1.2 provides a new Motif Widget called 
"XgPhigsDraw" that creates an PHIGS workstation that is attached to a Motif
DrawingArea.

HP-PHIGS MOTIF WIDGET: XgPhigsDraw
----------------------------------
    A new Motif 1.2 widget has been added for HP-PHIGS that will provide
    the following assistance:

        - Automatically opens a HP-PHIGS workstation inside of a Motif 
          DrawingArea widget
        - Handle resizing the workstation when the window is resized
        - Redraw the workstation when the window is exposed
        - Set the Window Manager colormap priority for the HP-PHIGS colormap
        - Close the HP-PHIGS workstation when the Motif widget is destroyed

    An example HP-PHIGS application using the new widget and demo program
    explaining the different options can be found in the examples (i.e.,
    /usr/lib/phigs/examples/Xg) and demo (i.e., /usr/lib/phigs/demos/Xg)
    directories included in the HP-PHIGS 2.3 Programming Environment
    product.

    Please refer to the "HP-PHIGS Workstation Characteristics and
    Implementation manual" for HP-PHIGS 2.3 and the XgPhigsDraw man
    page for more information.

It has it's own set of X resources that can be set to specify visual depth
and the necessary color environment.

The source and makefile for the XgPhigsDraw widget, as well as, two complete 
examples of how to write HP-PHIGS applications using the widget are shipped
with the HP-PHIGS 2.3 release.

I encourage you to upgrade if possible.  

Sincerely,

I work for a company that publishes books about computer software.
So I came across the excellent 3D Studio by Autodesk.

Every now and then, when I have some time off during my job-hours,
I like to make some nice rendered animations just for fun.

For that reason I'm looking for some 3DS models that I can use for my
demos. Someone told me that there is a 3DS-archive out there on FTP, but 
he couldn"t give me the address and archie doesn"t report any address either.

Is anyone out there who knows an FTP-site which has 3DS models and who is
willing to give it to me?

I would prefer models which are given to the public domain, because I do not
want to interfere any copyright-law by using these models.

If you have any information on this subject, you can post it to comp.graphics
or you can email me.

Thanks in advance!!

Subject: Software development in Russia?
Date: 23 Dec 92 01:34:30 GMT
Organization: CSU, DOMINGUEZ HILLS


Hi out there in NETland!

I am contemplating investing some money in software development in Russia and
selling it here in US.  It seems to be a good idea since software is a heavily
labor-consuming product with little hardware investment required to start it
out.  As you know, Russia now has a lot of skillful mathematicians, physisists
and programmers who are actively seeking an opportunity to earn any hard
currency.  With exchange rate at rediculously low level and the cost of labor
which is THE cheapest in the world, Russia looks like a heaven for software
development.  Besides, I was born there and lived there until about 5 years
ago, so it is reletively easy for me to establish right contacts.

I would like to solicit your opinion on the following matter.  Short time ago I
encountered an ad of a Russian software company offering different products such
as computer graphics, PC games, learning packages for children with game
elements, and so on.  My question is: Can I try to become a distributor of
their products in US and what kind of agreements are generally required? If I 
had a distribution or licencing agreement with those guys, how would I go
about selling this stuff here? Is there a market for, say, PC games or 
learning packages?  How can I interest big software resellers like CompUSA
or Egghead to carry them? Unfortunately, I do not have any experience in
selling software, so any info on this will be highly appreciated.

You can E-mail me at Vnoble@dhvx20.csudh.edu.

Thank you for taking time to read this.

	For my Ph.D. dissertation, I did this the good old-fashioned
19th-century German anatomical way--by hand.  Trace sections onto paper,
align using a light table, then reconstruct by isometric (orthogonal)
projection.  Since I am also an illustrator, this turned out well.  But
now that I am a postdoc, my new boss wants to use computer graphics
methods.

	The problem is, at least in the biological field, every paper
published in the last 2 years I have seen dealing with 3D reconstructions
uses either the 19th-century by-hand method, or else jerry-rigged hardware
and custom, hardware-specific software (read: not commercially available).

	I am prepared to admit that we biologists are not up to speed
on the current advances in such analyses (thus the preponderance of
jerry-rigged equipment).  What, then, are more modern means of making
3D reconstructions from serial cross sections?  E-mail please and I
will summarize for the net.

	I would be particularly interested in any solutions based
on the 80x86 computer family (for my owm practical needs), but please
feel free to describe any setup you wish which does this kind of
analysis.  Many thanks in advance.

machines up to about 4x4 foot! If you would like me to do a sample, let

Here's a little problem which has been bugging me for a while.  I hope
someone here can provide a work-through for me:

Given: - a rectangular coordinate system, raster display.
       - A circle, of radius r, and a straightforward drawing algorithm, 
         assuming averaging elimination of round-off errors.

What is the minimum number of discrete points that will exist in the 
perimeter of that circle?  And, of more interest, if one has a minimum 
number of points required, what will be the minimum radius needed to
produce that number?

I'm looking for something along the lines of a mathematical proof.

Apologies if this is blindingly obvious, but I don't see a simple solution.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

An easy one.

See Foley, van Dam, Feiner, and Hughes, _Computer Graphics: Principles
and Practice, Second Edition_, pp. 587-589 for all of the gory (well,
actually they're pretty sanitary) details.

To convert from RGB to CMY you use the following:

	C = 1 - R
	M = 1 - G
	Y = 1 - B
	
then convert to CMYK by 

	K = min( C, M, Y )
	C = C - K
	M = M - K
	Y = Y - K

Thus, going in the other direction, you'd just do

	R = 1 - ( C + K )
	G = 1 - ( M + K )
	B = 1 - ( Y + K )

Multiply the results by 255 and you're home free.

Help!  I'm trying to decipher an image format.  I have a handful of the
images, and it appears that it looks like this:

  32 byte header - contains width/height and some number that is
  'almost' the byte count of the file (minus 300-500 bytes).  

  Data...

The 'number' in the header could be a pointer to an overview or it could
be the byte count of the compressed data.  Something to that effect.  I
believe that the image file does have an overview.

The compressed data is a bit odd.  I don't think it's G3 or G4.  It has
quite alot of 0D 0A (carriage return/line feeds), and I'm sure it's more
than a coincidence.  The beginning of the file and often times in the middle
of the files often contain rows and rows of the same byte sequence followed
by 0D 0A.  

The images are black/white compressed image files.  That's it.

Any great ideas?  I've been trying all the decompression algorithms that I
know, and I even tried viewing the file as raw, but it's nowhere near large
enough.  It's an 8 1/2 by 11 page (1728 x 2240) and the file sizes are in
the 30K to 90K range.

Thanks for the help.
