Free Software Samples - OBJECTS


The software on the pages below is intended for free use. Each of the routines included in these sections were written as learning exercises for us at Ronn Kling Consulting and we hope that you can benefit from them. This page will be updated as time permits.

This first zip file is a representation of the earth as seen from space. Every fifteen minutes the sun position changes and the terminator is updated. Unzip the file and using IDL 5.2 type 'restore, sunclock.sav' at the command line. Read sunclock.readme for further instructions.

This zip file is the result of our creating an objects graphic equivalent to the RSI mesh_obj routine for direct graphics. Unzip the file and type meshobjectdemo at the command line to get it running. From the menu bar pull up the help file for detailed instructions. As a bonus, this file also contains rotator__define.pro. This object is a combination of a trackball object and model object that is loosely based on IDLexrotator__define.pro.
