INIT3D Routines

The INIT3D 3d plotting package permits 3-d plotting but does not include hidden line removal. The family of routines used with  INIT3D include:

  1. PLOT3D -- the central plot routine for INIT3D
  2. AXIS3D -- plots axes using PLOT3D, NUM3D, and SYM3D
  3. NUM3D -- plots numbers using PLOT3D
  4. SYM3D -- plots symbols using PLOT3D
  5. WHERE3D -- returns the screen coordinates of the last point drawn by PLOT3D.

The  INIT3D family of 3-d plotting routines are desiged to plot wireframe line plots with no hidden line removal. Memory requirements are modest and plotting is more rapid than for the  INIT3DH routines. For an example of the use of the INIT3D package see the  EXAMP3D\ program included with the LONGLIB graphics library.
