...The reason for doing so is that today every graphics card manufacturer provides their own OpenGL implementation, which takes full advantage of the accelerated drawing capabilities in the hardware. PHIGS is a higher level API than OpenGL that works with a hierarchical scene graph. Models are built up in a Centralized Structure Store (CSS), a database containing the drawing primitives and their attributes (color, line style, etc.). CSSes cand be shared among a number of views, known under PHIGS as a workstation. PHIGS is defined by the ISO standards ISO/IEC 9592 & 9593. Open PHIGS provides a library for C.

A tool for visualizing regular polytopes in stereographic projection. Capabilities include: a large database of Coxeter polytopes, 6-axis motion control, animation, fly-though, stereo viewing, high-res capture, depth-blur, and many style options.

Take a 2D flat photo... and turn it into a w3D "wiggle stereogram"! INSTANTLY! Wiggle stereograms use animation to switch between the left and right view of a stereogram. Here we create a nice animation that slides back and forth, for a smooth wiggle 3D ("w3D") effect. First the image is broken down into planes. Each plane is given a depth distance. The image belonging to each plane is horizontally compressed enough that the "shadows" cast by the image belonging to the planes in...
