a NURBS tool (aNt)


aNt
Highlights: This program is an implementation of the shaping techniques that will be developed during the course of my PhD. The tool can create, read, and write NURBS curves and surfaces and perform many basic operations such as modifying control points, weights etc., as well as many advanced shaping operators such as warping.

Implementation
v1: ANSI C, NLIB v3.0, PEX, X11, XView toolkit, OpenWindows Developer's Guide. This software runs on Unix (Solaris, IRIX and SunOS).

v2: OpenGL 1.0 on the SGI, and the OpenGL 1.1.1 or the Mesa 3D Graphics Library on the Suns, using Motif as the user interface toolkit.

General Information
Some links: Dr. Les Piegl, my major professor, and researcher extraordinaire. The NURBS book, Dr. Piegl's and Dr. Tiller's awesome book.
