A very bright high school student of a friend wants to do a project involving the display of 4D images using a computer (e.g., hypercubes etc.). I don't have a graphics background; has this been done? Are there any references I can pass along? The student has access to some powerful machines in this area so computing power shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for any help you all can provide. I'd prefer responses via email since I'm not a reader of this group. Owen Owen L.

I have source code for such things which I've sent on, if anyone else wants it email me. I'm working on more sophisticated stuff now. I'll write up an explanation of what I've done now... \/ o\ Paul Crowley aipdc@uk.ac.ed.castle /\__/ Trust me, I know what I'm doing.

There is a paperback book called something like "Graphics in the Fourth DImension", published by Tab books, that has complete math and explanations (and some code, if I remember), for display of 4 dimensional hypercubes....
