3-D VIEWER
Purpose: Perspective 3D display of objects or data, with real-time
rotations.
Language: C and Assembler.
System: IBM PC/XT/AT compatible, EGA, CGA or Hercules graphics,
Microsoft-compatible mouse.
3DV.EXE displays 3-dimensional objects or data, with real-time rotations. It
works on IBM compatibles, supporting the EGA, CGA and Hercules graphics
boards. A Microsoft-compatible mouse is required.
Load the mouse driver before running the program. The data file name can be
entered on the command line (3DV filename.ext), or later by selecting the FILE
option. Some sample files are provided in this directory (files with no
extension). The position of the view point on a sphere surrounding the object
is controlled by moving the mouse: horizontally changes the longitude,
vertically changes latitude. Pressing a button takes you back to the options
menu.
Data is given in ASCII text files as follows (free format):
Number of points
x, y, and z coordinates for each point (scaling is automatic)
...
Number of connecting lines or moves (items below)
point number to draw or to move to, colour (colour = 0 for moves)
...
List the sample files for examples.
Notes:
- Currently, the Hercules option requires the GraphX driver, and has not been
tested. A stand-alone version is projected.
- This program is made available for non-commercial research, teaching, and
personal use. It may not be sold or distributed as part of another package.
