Hi! Sorry to disturb you all, but I didn't know where else to turn... (and the very informative and helpful weekly posting didn't say not to request images...) Anyway, I need a picture of a prisim doing its thing; something along the lines of the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon alblum cover would be ideal. Any format is fine---I can convert! Thanks in advance for any help!

I can provide you with an image of a prism, but not ala Pink Floyd. For technical reasons peculiar to computer graphics, that image would be VERY hard to do (as a physical simulation). I know a bit about this; my Master's Thesis was on exactly this topic. I do have a image of a prism sitting on a checkerboard, with a little rainbow above it. The prism is dispersing the checkerboard, as prisms are wont to do. I even have a stereo pair of the image...

That's funny, cause I have a print of a Floydish prism done by III in the late '70s... --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax, apple, hplabs}!well!jef "No, no, I don't mind being called the smartest man in the world.
