XSurface is an XWindow package (for Linux) which allows the creation,
manipulation and visualisation of three-dimensional smooth surfaces.
Bicubic Bezier patches are used to represent the surfaces and novel
techniques have been applied to the problem of joining patches to make
larger and more complex surfaces. A binary distribution for Linux
(requires XFree 3.1 or 3.1.1 and libc 4.6.??) is available. A source
distribution, suitable for more-or-less any UNIX machine with X is
also available, both on sunsite (see LSM below).
Hope you enjoy playing with XSurface. Complete documentation is available
by email from rjm@swift.eng.ox.ac.uk on request.
