                                 Nov 2000
Introduction
------------
   Plot3DZ is an abstract C++ class used to plot an arbitrary equation
   z=func(x,y) as a 3D surface. The plot is generated as a set of
   constant x and/or constant y curves.  Hidden line removal and
   color gradients are optional.

   Win3DZ.exe is a VC++6.0 MFC Windows program that uses the Plot3DZ
   class to draw 3D plots.

   Full source code is provided as freeware.
   Abstract C++ base classes are portable to other platforms.

 
Highlights of Win3DZ program:
-----------------------------
   1) Plots an arbitrary equation z=func(x,y) as a ruled surface.
   2) User programmable surface equation is entered in Basic-like syntax.
   3) Constant x and/or constant y lines are drawn.
   4) User selectable 3D view point
   5) Multiple views can be shown
   6) Supports hidden line removal.
   7) Has the ability to produce color gradient plots.
   8) Plot coordinate axis
   9) Provides for scaling.
  10) Copy image to clipboard for saving to disk
