FF/polydraw/ReadMe

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Introduction
 !PolyDraw is an interactive program which displays a polyhedron
in two forms, as a 3D solid and as a planar net, from prestored data files.
It is written the Fortran programming language by:

 'Fortran Friends', P.O.Box 64, Didcot, Oxon OX11 0TH

   tel: (01235) 834357

Machine and operating system requirements: 

Any Acorn computers using RISC-OS operating systems 3.XX, including networks
and StrongARM.

Copyright and copying:
 
Further details can be found in the file Docs.CopyRight.
This program remains the copyright of 'Fortran Friends': it is licensed to
you for single use only; you may copy it to a backup floppy disc or to your
own hard disk but giving copies to others is illegal.   Your registration
number is unique; any illegal copies found will be reported to the

                      Contents of the !PolyDraw Disc

This section is for reference only, you may never need to use it if you just
want to use the supplied data files, plot them in various ways and save the
diagrams as Draw files. All Draw files on the distribution disc have been
compressed using the standard 'Squash' program.

Skip to the section headed 'Installation' if this is the first time you have 
looked at this file, and you are not interested in technicalities.

   Within the !PolyDraw application, in addition to the usual files, 
   there are several directories, (listed below in alphabetical order of
   directory name):

  Directories Dat*
   These contain files of polyhedron data  (see Docs.DataDirs for details)

  Directory 'Docs' contains:

   Text files
     BooKits    - suggested reading, and suppliers of model kits
     CopyRight  - a statement of 'Fortran Friends' copyright
     DataDirs   - a description of the contents of the Data directories
     FaultRep   - a form for you to return if you find any problems
     FormData   - a definition of the format of the data files
     FormOpts   - a definition of format of the Choices file in Resources
     FormPlist  - a definition of format of the Polylist file in PolyLists
     FormTitle  - a definition of format of the Titles file in PolyLists
     Glossary   - a text file defining terms associated with polyhedra
     NewOnes    - advice on how to add a new polyhedron of your own.
     Versions   - record of the differences between versions of !PolyDraw
     WishList   - current planned enhancements for !PolyDraw

    Draw files
     Defn      - a Draw file with an explanatory diagram showing some
                    of the terms used in 'Glossary'
     DrawEx1   - shows the range of display forms which can be saved into
                    a Draw file from !PolyDraw
     Stereo    - an example of a side by side stereo pair, 
                   which can be seen as 3D if you can defocus your eyes
     ToolsExpl - an explanation of the icons in the tools pane

  Directory 'PolyLists' contains the files which make your list of
    possible polyhedra to plot. Each file has the reference number
    of the 'Dat' directory, the file name, the polyhedron name and
    information used by the 'select' window if you want to restrict
    the number of possible polyhedra to plot.

    'PolyList' lists polyhedra separated into types separated by headings
    'PolyListA' same polyhedra but listed in alphabetical order of name

  Directory 'Resources'
    In addition to the usual Acorn files, Messages and Templates,
    there are several other files, which the program may change for you,
    but which most users need not bother with.

    'Choices' defines the initial settings and filenames to be read,
              for example as the initial 'Polylist'.
    'Colours' defines all the colours used initially. The program can
              change this file if the user changes the colours and then
              asks to save the 'Colours' file before quitting the program.
    'DefCols' this is the default 'Colours' file, initially it is the same
              as 'Colours'. To reset an updated 'Colours' file to the
              original colours, manually copy 'DefCols' to 'Colours'.
    'Register'this file contains your name and registration information.
              It must not be changed by the user.
    'ToolSp3D'sprites used in the tools pane of the 3D display window.

  Directory 'TryThese' contains

     Activities - some suggested activities for you to try when you
                  get bored with just looking at the polyhedra, 
                  rotating them, and saving them as Draw files and 
                  want to know a bit more about how they are related
                  to one another.
     Answers  - the answers to the questions in 'Activities'
                (Try not to look at these until after you have
                 tried them for some time yourself!)
     Squashed Draw files - 'Sheetn' and 'Answern' which are part of
     the 'Activities' and answers 

      We should be most grateful for suggestions for further activities,
      or copies of new ones to pass on to other users. 

      Please send yours to 'Fortran Friends' at the address above.
    
 --------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:

1. Make a working copy on floppy disc. Store the original safely, in case
your working copy becomes damaged. Your license allows you to make a
single copy for your own use. If the disc supplied has been damaged and
will not copy, return it to us for a free replacement within 3 months of
purchase.

Use the 'working' copy for the rest of the instructions. You can run from
the floppy if you want to.

2. Installation on hard disc: 
Make yourself a directory for storing your programs, with
a name such as 'Polyhedra' and copy the contents of the floppy disc to it.

3. Read the Documentation. 
Before trying to run the application, look at the file !Help file for
operating instructions, in the sub-directory 'TryThese' for some
suggested activities, and in the sub-directory 'Docs' for a glossary of 
terms and some example Draw files.  You may want to print these out for 
future reference.

4. Operating instructions:
Running instructions are in the file !Help of the application; 
Acorn interactive help is supported.

5. Starting the program:

Double-click on the application !PolyDraw to start the program; this loads
an icon on to the icon bar and shows the default list of polyhedra you can
plot. Click MENU when the pointer is over this icon to see the options. 
Choose 'info' to see the program name, version number and your registration
number, which should be quoted in any correspondence with 'Fortran Friends'.
Click SELECT to see the default list of polyhedra you can plot.

6. Stopping the program:

Click MENU over the icon on the icon bar and choose the last option, 'quit'.
If windows are hiding the icon bar, press key f12 while holding down the
SHIFT key, to bring the icon bar to the front of the windows.

7. Colour Changing:
You can change the colour used for particular faces of a polyhedron in some
of the display forms. If you try to do this and get an error message saying
'Colour Picker module is not loaded', then if you have a copy of the Acorn
Colour Picker Module load it using commands as described in the !Run file.
If you have not got this module you can get it off the Acorn User Cover Disc
for September 97 or send a blank disc plus return envelope and postage to
'Fortran Friends' at the address above.

8. Displaying your own data files:

The format of the data files is defined in the file Docs.FormData which
lists all the possible lines of the file. You need not make all the lines,
but the first line must have the string ':name ' as the 1st 6 characters,
and the last line must begin ':end '.  The vertices must be described in
clockwise direction for each face as they are seen from inside the
polyhedron. If they are not, the results are unpredictable, usually, the
face is missing from the 3D plot. 

For example:

:name my new cube
:comment designed by me on 22 June 97
:solidf 6 4
4 1 2 3 4 1
4 4 5 6 1 2
4 2 1 6 7 7
4 8 3 2 7 5
4 8 5 4 3 3
4 6 5 8 7 4
:solidv 8
0  0.8 0.58
-0.8 0 0.58
0 -0.8 0.58
0.8 0 0.58
0.8 0 -0.58
0 0.8 -0.58
-0.8 0  -0.58
0 -0.8 -0.58
:end


9. Possible Faults:

Error conditions we have thought about have 'traffic sign' windows which
should allow you to choose whether to stop the program or try to carry on.

If your working disc is damaged, you may find when you try to start the
program you merely get an 'error window' saying your user registration file
has been corrupted. Delete all the files from your working disc, and make a
new copy from your original disc. 

If you find the program stops in an uncontrolled way, please try to write
down details of what you were doing just before the error, and send them to
us, preferably using the fault report form in file !PolyDraw.Docs.FaultRep. 

If you have changed any of the !PolyDraw files, or the fault is in reading a
new polyhedron of your own, please check carefully that you have listed the
face vertices in the correct order before contacting us. The usual symptom
of this is that the face with incorrect vertices is not plotted in the 3D
window.  Please supply copies of the files on floppy disc which you were
using when the error occurred.
