As every program >20 lines has bugs (quoted from Mattias Gustafsson),
Plotter3D may do fancy things or even crash. It has been tested using all
kinds of debug tools like enforcer, mungwall, poolwatch, cyberguard, etc.
and all known hits has been removed.
If Plotter3D crashes on your system, please first read the following notes,
maybe you could fix the problem. If it doesn't help, try to disable all kinds
of patches you have installed on your system. If this also doesn't help,
please send me an email describing the bug (what happens, when does it occur,
etc.; don't forget to add your system configuration) or even better, download
the debug-version from my homepage
http://www.irz.tu-dresden.de/~ss37/plotter3d.html
and send me the output from enforcer/mungwall/... .
· If you use Kick3.1, please check if you have installed an patch for
MathIEEESingBas.library (resides in ROM). This library is buggy on
020/040/060 systems and forces Plotter3D to crash. On a screen with less
than 256 colors you will never see an window of Plotter3D, on hi/true-color
screens Plotter3D starts but crashes if you draw an complex preview.
There are a lot of patches for this library, eq.:
mathIEEESingBasPatch
MathPatch
...
Please install one of them.
Note: MCP's mathpatch doesn't work correctly!
Also try to copy an mathieeesingbas.library to your LIBS: drawer. This seems
to make no sence, because this library resides in ROM, but it has help
sometimes !?
The best solution is to get math libraries specialized for your CPU,
eq. FastMath. This fixes the problems and gains much more speed.
· Plotter3D will probably crash on plain A500/A600 because of reading long's
from odd aligned addresses (isn't allowed on 68000).
But I could neither find such an computer nor I could imagine how you would
use Plotter3D there (awful slow, no realtime mode)
