| This is the initial release of my 4D wireframe viewer that I wrote for my | ||
| master's thesis, "Four-Space Visualization of 4D Objects", in May 1991. The | ||
| thesis is also available in this same GitHub project. | ||
|
|
||
| This release should include the following files: | ||

| You will probably need to tweak the makefile to get it to run on your platform. | ||

| Wire4 supports wireframe display of arbitrary 4D objects (from ASCII input | ||
| files) and displays objects with user-specified edge colors, depth-cueing, and | ||
| interactive 3D and 4D rotation. Both 4D to 3D and 3D to 2D projections can be | ||
| interactively set to parallel or perspective projection. Also included in the | ||
| package is a program to generate simple PostScript files of arbitrary wireframe | ||

| Also available for release is my 4D raytracing program. Let me know if you are | ||
| interested and I'll send you a copy. Ray4 runs on any platform that supports C | ||
| and floating point, but currently the only display programs available are for | ||
| the Amiga, SGI platforms, and Sun rasterfiles. | ||
