** Graphics Product Announcement **
In keeping with network etiquette, I will try to make this as brief and to-the-
point as possible. Apologies in advance to anyone who may be offended (but I
hope no one is!)
What we have is a beast called "Hoops". Hoops is a large, 2-D/3-D, general-
purpose display-list graphics subroutine library. Hoops deals with such
things as lines, polygons, text, windows, colors, and cameras. It is
designed to run on on many machines and many displays, and its basic
purpose is to make your life easier when you sit down to write a graphics
application. We've put a lot of effort into: 1) a clean design, 2) speedy
program execution, and 3) keeping it cheap!
