I don't read this newsgroup, so I apologize if this is old news to you-all. In the past week two graphics packages appeared in comp.sources.unix: GL Graphics Library for AT-clone Unix (7 parts) Volume 18, Issue 59-65 The "gl" collection of routines provides graphic device support for a number of video adapters and printers for PC/AT class computers running under Microport System V/AT, Xenix or MS-DOS. The routines emulate the BSD plot(3) library, as well as provide new routines. It runs under MSDOS/ System V/AT, SCO Xenix 286, and with Hercules, CGA, EGA, and Epson printer devices. MTV ray-tracing package (3 parts) Volume 18, Issue 70-72 This represents the second formal release of the MTV Raytracer. Feel free to use it for any purpose, I am releasing it into the public domain. The input format to this ray tracer is called "NFF" or Neutral File Format, which was invented by Eric Haines' for his Standard Procedural Database. The SPD was designed to allow programmers to test their raytracers on databases of varying sizes. While not the end-all to object file formats, it has served me well. If you wish to change the input file to something else, you probably only need to change the parser in "parse.y", not any of the other code. Enjoy. /rich $alz -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
