General DF file. Public bringover gets the load and run files, user documentation, several sample surfaces, and CedarChest bcd files needed by the load file.

A user-oriented description of the algebraic surfaces tool.

This document.

Describes the primary representation of surfaces, the Scad. Describes the file format used to load and save Scads.

This is the connection to AlgebraStructures. These modules provide operations on decomposed surfaces (Scads) in the internal representation. A detailed description appears in CADDoc.tioga.

Type definitions for Scads and several related types.

Provides input and output of Scads. Also a few miscellaneous operations on Scads.

Implementation of the CADIO interface.

These modules provide the ray tracer, a program which generates high-resolution images of algebraic surfaces. It is, unfortunately, very slow.

Provides two public procedures: TraceSurfaces and TraceCells. TraceSurfaces produces a ray tracing of complete algebraic surfaces; TraceCells produces a tracing of specified cells in the Scads of the surfaces.

Implementation of the SurfaceTracer interface.

Type definitions for lighting models.

Type definitions for surface shading models.

This is the connection to ThreeDWorld. These modules provide for display and manipulation of algebraic surfaces. They use polygon approximations specified by a cylindrical algebraic decomposition of the surface(s). These two-cells, along with exaggerated one-cells and zero-cells, are displayed using the ThreeDWorld and Quickviewer contexts. This is fast enough to use interactively.

Includes procedures to create the color display viewer, display views of the surfaces, add and remove surfaces, mask cells, and change viewing parameters.

Implementation of the SurfaceViewer interface.

Provides two new shape classes for ThreeDWorld. They are $FatPoint and $FatSeg, which are used to assemble 0-cells and 1-cells, respectively. A procedure, RegisterNewClasses, registers them into a 3d context. Procedures are provided to construct ThreeDWorld shapes for 0-, 1-, and 2-cells.

Implementation of the ThreeDHacks interface.

These modules provide a user interface to the Algebraic Surfaces programs.

Implementation of the user interface. Running SurfaceToolImpl adds a command, "SurfaceTool", to the Command tool. Executing this command creates a new surface tool.

Interface for the icons module. Provides icons for the surface tool (user interface) window and the surface viewer (color display) window.

Implementation of the SurfaceIcons module.

MultiPolynomial is a data abstraction for a polynomial in an arbitrary amount of variables. It is now included in MathPackage on CedarChest. It provides most of the internal symbolic algebra used by the Algebraic Surfaces programs.

DF file for the MathPackage.

Interface for the MultiPolynomial module. Includes constructors, operators, and substitution and evaluation mechanisms.
