The example you posted seems to be two squares, not one.  One square
is at [[1,1,1], [1,1,-1], [1,-1,-1], [1,-1,1]], and the other is the
same but with X=-1.  

The secret to understanding polytriangle strips is to realize that
vertices are doubled on either side of a "break" in the strip. This
creates two zero-area triangles (we call them "cobwebs") which are
culled in our renderer and ignored by many others.  If you wanted to
convert a polytriangle strip to disjoint triangles, you probably
want to skip over these zero-area triangles (easily identified by having
two of the vertices being identical).  Other than that, if the indexes
of the strip are [1,2,3,4,5,6], then the triangles are: [1,2,3], [2,3,4],
[3,4,5], [4,5,6]. I.e., there are N-2 triangles for a polytri strip 
of N vertices.

Does this help?

C'mon now Henry, how much did you spend for that last piece of lab
equipment that you bought?  Or how much did you spend getting your
programmer to develop a X-window application that would draw a line 
from Point A to Point B?   And how much did you spend on your speedy 
SGI box?   A lot more than $6500 bucks, I'll bet.  AVS costs a lot
of money compared a $89 program for the PC, but if you view it as 
a scientific tool, it ain't that expensive.  I certainly wouldn't choose
Explorer just because it's free if you buy an SGI machine!

Description : The Field Averaging module computes the average field of a

              exists multiple fields (eg. images) that represent a

              samples will help cancel out the noisy data contained in
              each sample.

	I think that it must be due to lack of memory; I haven't had any such
problems with it...  What it does do that annoys me (so I don't use it) is
leave a little block on the screen every time that I make an error...  For
example if I click outside of a menu box, it'll beep and put a big black
dot on the screen...  And sometimes the mouse pointer doesn't get erased,
so I'll save an image, and it'll have the mouse arrow in it!

	Although this is a matter of taste, I find this inferior to
the algorithm that I use, which tests if the point is left-of-or-on
the three directed lines determined by pairs of vertices of the triangle.
In the edge crossing code, one must deal with the ray crossing a
vertex, being parallel to an edge, being collinear with an edge:

			       /\
			      /  \
			     /    \
			*---+------+------>

Coding these special cases requires care.  The other method has no
no comparable special cases.  But all methods, as someone else pointed
out, are subject to tricky precision issues, because coordinates
are multiplied.

I'm trying to simulate depth-of-field effects (having only part of a

f-stop and focal distance in the SDL file, the program is supposed to
take care of everything for you.

I've tried a range of values for these parameters, but I keep getting
perfectly focused images.  Does anyone else have any experience with

Your guess is approiate. A good MultiScan monitor will fix that problem IF

PICLAB is a shareware program available in most ftp sites msdos/graphics
directories. It does an excellent 16 / 24 bit to 256 colour conversion. 
Other conversion programs are readily available as well. Most 256 colour
display programs make a truecolor image look BAD because they don't perform
a very good internal colour matching scheme, CSHOW and VPIC included. 
However, CSHOW8.5 does an excellent 24-bit , 15-bit and 16-bit display in
VESA mode. 
BTW: YOU can use VPIC to load the image then save as GIF and then view it.
I believe this process will to a better conversion than when VPIC loads
and display's.

   Either of them should be able to help you with your stated goal. 

   OpenGL is a library similar to "the" GL. It is also a licensed product
of Silicon Graphics.  As far as I know, you cannot yet purchase it from 
anyone but SGI, and what you could get right now is a software-only version.
Things are not really set up for end-users yet.  If I remember correctly, 
SGI plans to have OpenGL for its machines in first half 1993.  I do 
not know planned release dates for other platforms. 

   In any case, you would have to rewrite some of your current code, 
probably, to use OpenGL. 

   Disclaimer: I work for Sun, haven't yet 8^) used OpenGL, haven't 
gotten my OpenGL books, etc. I'm sure the SGI guys will correct any

Could somebody please mail or post the name of the site where this is
kept? I ftped it and set it aside for awhile, then when I went to
uncompress it, it was corrupted. Now I can't find the name of the
site. I think the filename was something like ccg.tar.Z...

Thanks - Steve

The are better and cheaper Windows acelerator cards out here. In non windows
mode, the card is actually slower than some super VGA cards. Get a Diamond 
Speedstar24X with is much faster in both modes and can display 16.7 mill
colors at 640x480.

Subject: What is LD-ROM??
Organization: Intergraph
Date: Mon, 16 Nov 1992 16:34:01 GMT

I recently read an article on Multi-Media production that briefly mentioned LD-ROM (Laser Disc ROM). I would like to get some specific information on this subject. 

1. What kinds of information can be stored?

2. What are its storage capacities?

3. What is the development process for producing a LD-ROM program

4. Can the user Interact with the program? (how does it compare to CD-I)


any information on the subject would be useful


Thanks,
