Interested in either direct output to 4010/4027 or (even better) an interface to the UNIX plot(1) "package". Contact km@emory.uucp if you can help. * A request for a source of the Hidden Surface Removal package that Ken Turkowski posted to net.sources back in December. Contact danl@ogcvax.uucp if you can help. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION: * Continued discussion on animation output techniques, with particular interest in computer output to videotape. * New topic - Is there a good way to generate a graphical display of the subroutine call trace for a complex program? In particular: 1) How do you do this locally ("zoomed in" on a section of code) 2) How do you do this globally so that only the most significant structural information is presented? 3) Exactly what branch of knowledge does this fall into? 4) Is anybody working on this (VLSI folks, perhaps)?
