[comp.graphics] 3-d Function Plots

niobium@arrakis.nevada.edu (11/14/89)

Hello All!

I am currently attempting to draw three-dimensional function plots in Pascal,
but am having troubles converting a point with three-dimensional coordinates
into two-dimensional coordinates for display.

What I desire is to specify a Rotation angle and an Elevation angle for the
eye, and then scale the resulting graph to fit within my display.  Does
anybody have an algorithm for such a conversion?  If not, could someone
point me in the direction of a volume or two on graphic algorithms that could
provide me with the necessary information?

Please E-Mail answers so as to not clutter the Net with bits of code.

Thanks profusely in advance.

(If the .signature doesn't work!)
