I just though you might like to know. I just ran across an article in the September/October 1988 issue of Computers in Physics where the Amiga is featured prominently. The title of the article is "3-D Amiga Images for the Physics Classroom" by David M. McKintry from Eastern Washington University. The article talks about how to use the Amiga for 3-D visualization in the classroom. In it there is also a small Amiga BASIC program that illustrates how to generate Stereoscopic images. -- -+= SAM =+- "the best things in life are free" ARPA: paolucci@snll-arpagw.llnl.gov

The ... [stuff deleted] Another article of note in that issue is "Interaction of U(1) cosmic strings: Numerical intercommutation" by Richard Matzner, in which the 3-d perspective color contour plots are screen shots off an Amiga. He doesn't mention that the plots were done on his Amiga until the end, which is why you may have missed it. His plots were done by sending multiple contours from the remote host, changing the line color before each one (using a hack to VT100 -- I think he is switching to VLT since it is much better suited for this work, assuming he can coax the remote gfx library routines to send the necessary Tek4105 commands).
