I'm putting together a large family tree and I want to include a graphic
of a tree on the cover.  I want simply a tree with no leaves, sort of a
branching thing.

I have a small clip-art graphic of what I want, but when I enlarge it,
of course, it looks choppy (damn bitmaps anyway).

So, is there a high resolution tree out there?

  OR

Can I convert my bitmap image into a vector image that will look better?

I have Windows 3.1, MS Word 2.0, CorelDraw 3.0, and the usual windows
paintbrush, etc., GWS.

Can any of these do what I want?  I tried using corel trace on my tree,
but it came out like some neo-modern warped representation of a tree.

Thanks for your help.

  Hi folks,
    
     To make a long story short, I'd like to either write a 640x480x16 driver
with 4 frame buffers, or better yet; get a hold of the source to one.  While
looking over the borland .bgi files, I noticed that drivers exist for 
640x480x16 with 2 buffers; so it doesn't seem like a far-fetched idea to
be able to create one with 4 buffers as long as the VGA card has enough 
memory.  If anyone knows of where I can aquire this beast, or how I would
go about creating this, please let me know.

    I'm using Borland C/C++ 2.0 

    Thanks,
     Randy

Hi folks!
Don't know if this is the right group for my question, but I'll try it anyway...
I'm currently working with a planarity testing algorithm for graphs, which
was devised by Lempel,Even and Cederbaum. 
I'd like to see an implementation of this algorithm, if possible with
PQ-trees (as suggested by Booth & Lueker). 
So if anyone has a full(!), working version of this algorithm on a common 
machine, please mail me (I don't follow this group regularly).

Thanx a lot,

Frank.

P.S.: I'd also appreciate a version of the Hopcroft-Tarjan algorithm!

        I have checked out all the leads I received about the schools
        that offer computer graphics education programs (in the US and
        Canada).

        Today I visited Academy of Art College/California State
        University in San Francisco and picked up some brochures about
        their classes. I found out, among the other things, that the
        computers being used are MACs!

        Aren't there any schools that use *real* graphics workstations
        (I'm talking about undergraduate programs)in teaching and labs?
        Every single college that offers a programs in computer
        graphics/animation seems to have PCs or MACs in the labs.

        The best programs I've found so far are offered by RISD (even
        though their program is more conventional and thus is not
        concentrated on computer based animation in any way).

        So, once again, I'd ask you to email or post information about
        the schools offering computer graphics programs around the
        continent (excluding New York City; I realize that Pratt
        Institute and some other schools there might have excellent
        programs available but I just can't imagine living there for the
        lasting of the school. I can even take L.A.! :)

        I'm mostly interested in the artistic approach to the graphics,
        ie. primarily interactive design (as opposed to heavy coding).

Date: 14 Dec 92 15:17:11 GMT
Organization: GEC Plessey Semiconductors


I would like to know if there are any generalised routines for calculating
the area of a 2 dimensional polygon. These will in general be rectangular
but are quite often rhomboidal (you know - squashed rectangles).

There are cases where polygons are re-entrant and so I would need to be able
to handle these as well.

Any pointers would be welcome. 
(if you specify papers, I would like information on how to get hold of them).

	Cheers

One problem that I've heard of with the Ultra Plus (and I have not 
verified this with ATI since I'm perfectly happy with my new SpeedStar
24X) is that the second MB of memory clashes with system memory if you
have more than 8MB installed. Apparently, they set the addressing of
the second MB at the beginning of the 9th MB...

Anyone have a definitive word on this? Did I hear right or wrong?

Since I have had a number of people asking me for this proof I am posting it:


	          _______      
	         /.     .\
	        /  .   .  \ a2
	       /    .C.    \ 
	   Pn /..bn..o..b2..\
	      \    .   .    / P2
	    an \ b0   b1.  /
	        \.       ./  a1
	         ---------
		P0  a0   P1



Consider the above polygon with n+1 vertices. The vertices are
P0...Pn. C is any point inside the polygon such that all vertices are
"visible" from C.

Assume the polygon is triangulated into n+1 triangles P0P1C, P1P2C,
..., PiP(i+1)C, ..., PnP0C. Now the area of the polygon is equal to
the sum of the areas of triangles. This holds wheather or not the
polygon is convace or convex, due to the choice of C.


Let the area of the ith triangle PiP(i+1)C be Ai. Clearly 

			Ai = 0.5 * |ai X bi|
where 
			ai = P(i+1) - Pi     and                        (1)
			bi = C - Pi

So the area of the polygon, A(p) is:

			A(p) = sum{i=0}^{n} Ai
			     = 0.5 * sum{i=0}^{n} (|ai X bi|)           (2)

For a coplanar polygon all the vectors ai X bi are in the same direction so
Eqn.(2) can be written as:

			A(p) = 0.5 * |sum{i=0}^{n} (ai X bi)|           (2a)
				


Using Eqn.(1) and (2a) 

	  sum{i=0}^{n} (ai X bi) = sum{i=0}^{n} (P(i+1) - Pi) X (C - Pi)
	 = sum{i=0}^{n} (((P(i+1) - Pi) X C) - (P(i+1) X Pi) + (Pi X Pi))
								\-----/
								   =0
	 = sum{i=0}^{n} ((P(i+1) - Pi) X C) + sum{i=0}^{n} (Pi X P(i+1))  (3)
	   \------------------------------/
			= 0

Note: it can be shown (using Tensor notaion or otherwise) that:

		sum{i=0}^{n} ((P(i+1) - Pi) X C) = 0 
	
for a closed polygon.


So from (2a) and (3)

		A(p) = 0.5 * |sum{i=0}^{n} (Pi X P(i+1))|                (4)

Since (4) is independent of C it must hold true for both concave and convex
polygons.

	We have a slice maker which has much higher resolution than
Iris's screen. While making slice, we would like to render an image
with higher resolution than the screen's 1280x1024, say 4096x4096.
So we can fully use the resolution of our slice maker. How can we do
it? Can AVS, Ape, or Explorer do it? We have a SGI Personal Iris.

I'm not sure I'm familiar with the term 'behavioral models' but I do know something
about human-computer cooperation.  You might find the following bibliography useful: 

Woods, D., Johannesen, L. and Potter, S. (1991) `Human Interaction with Intelligent 
Systems: An Overview and Bibliography.' SIGART Bulletin (ACM) Vol 2 (5).

An important paper listed in the bibliography that you might want to 
start with is:

Roth, E., Bennett, K. and Woods, D. (1987) Human interaction with an 
`intelligent' machine. International Journal of Man Machine Studies. 27: 479-525.

(p.s. I thought I'd respond to the newsgroup because this might be informative to
to others as well. If anyone knows of any recent research on this topic that
they're excited about and is missing from the bibliography, please let me
know. Thanks!)
