This may a bit presumptuous, but a reference text I enjoyed years ago (six to be exact) was Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics (Newmann and Sproull) that really covers the waterfront where graphics is concerned. I picked it up for a then pricey $48.00. I imagine that it costs even more now if you can find it. At the time I was working on a graphics library for Turbo C 1.0. In what was then excellent timing, Borland provided Turbo C 1.5 and the BGI graphics routines. I abandoned the library I was writing. However, the N&S text provided me with many solid algorithms that let me explore my orphaned Mindset Personal Computer's capabilities. There may be copies of the N&S text in college libraries to this day. Regardless, I found it a highly valuable work and would recommend it to anyone. Best of luck. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Richardson | "If there's anything more important than my ego Analysts International Corp. | around here, I want it caught and shot now!" for Boeing Computer Services | --Zaphod Beeblebrox --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "My opinions are not necessarily those of my clients or my employers." =================================================================================
