- Hello again!
- Here is an interresting thing:
- If yo have the HP back to school disk with SUITE3D on it, you can make three
- dimentional drawings. (yeah so, what else is new)
-
- If you have at least 40K of free memory, you can store about 36 graphic
- pictures.
- (yeah so.)
-
- Well, with this you can also modify 'movie" under the file folder 'suite3d' and
- scan through your group of pictures.
- (what does this mean?)
-
- If you take 36 pictures at 10 degree intervals around the xy plane looking at
- the origin from a fixed radius, and continue to do this until you have all the
- pict s stored, then you can have the HP scroll through them very quickly;
-
- The appearance is *VERY* impressive and gives the impression that the image is
- being rotated on the screen! Show this to any IBM or MAC user and they will
- thing you have a wonder machine that is faster than their PC's rivaling many
- MAINFRAMES.
-
- The disadvantage is that it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to set up.
- All you have to do is wait for it to draw each picture and the press 'c' for
- it to draw the next. It stores each pict on the stack and continues until all
- the pictures are drawn!
-
- I have shown this to many people and they are trully impressed by the images.
- I will try to post the programs and the changes I have made to them on here,
- but I don't know if I can. I haven't done this before.
-
- If anyone can give me suggestions on how to send these programs I could use it.
- I allready know how to put them on the computer and on disk. I also have a VAX
- and FTP here at SSU. ANY pointers?
-
- I can also include one that I have allready done useing the graph Z=Y^2-X^2.
-
- Later...
