[comp.sys.mac] Graf3D Queries...

douglas@bcsaic.UUCP (Douglas Schuler) (03/17/87)

I just received the latest MacTutor and there was mention of Graf3D
routines in an article and a sample program written in Pascal.  I have
Aztec C, version H - Commercial package.  

I would like the include files that would enable me to use the Graf3D
routines, if somebody would be so kind as to mail them to me...

Also, in general, what would I have to do to set up my own include file for
Graf3D?  I'm trying to ask if there is something magic that I would need
to know that I don't.  

What mac tech report deals with Graf3D?         ---  T H A N K S  ---

I just turned in an article to MacTutor on Graf3D applications in C. I
dealt with some of the limitations of Graf3D, and my example program does
Bezier spline wire frame approximations of smooth surfaces. I included the
libraries and include files with my article.

The only documentation I have seen from Apple for Graf3D are in: Appendix J
of the Macintosh Programmers Workshop manual and Appendix E of the Lisa
Pascal menu.

I've done a version of my MacTutor program that has a "decompile" option
on the file menu. Choose it, and it regenerates the C source code. Once I
get the okay from the editor of MacTutor, I'll post it.

Graf3D.Rel has been on Software Supplement disks from Apple.
