Graphic Gems, where is source code?
#768

Is there an ftp site where I can down load the source code listed
in "Graphic Gems"(vol 1) by Glassner?

Also, I've manually typed in (ugh!) one of the examples, "Generic
Convex Polygon Scan Conversion and Clipping" by Paul Heckbert.
This program contains a small, but important error.  How can I 
report this bug, either to Paul Heckbert, Andrew Glassner, or the
publisher (Academic Press)?

Thank you in advance,
-knight

I know of no ftp site, but Graphic Gems III comes with source on 
floppy from all three books.

Your best bet would probably be the publisher, or the authors, in 
care of the publisher. Their address, from the reader response card 
is:

	Academic Press
	955 Massachusetts Avenue
	Cambridge, MA 02139
			USA

Try wustl.wuarchive.edu under /graphics/graphics/books/graphics-gems
or princeton.edu under /pub/Graphics/GraphicsGems.

Both of these FTP sites have the source code from all three volumes
with some bug fixes and corrections.

Regarding bug reports--perhaps you should check to see if it's 
already been found and fixed.  Here's an exerpt from the README
file that is on both of the above FTP sites.

	Additional submissions (bug fixes, skeleton programs, auxiliary
	routines, etc.) may be directed to the site administrator,
	Craig Kolb (cek@princeton.edu).

	Thanks to Eric Haines for compiling and maintaining the
	eratta list.

	GGems.tar.Z		The most up-to-date versions the gems.
	Errata.GraphicsGems	Errata to Graphics Gems, first edition.
	GGems.old.tar.Z		Older, buggier, uglier versions of the gems.

Source is available via anonymous ftp from Princeton.EDU in the
pub/Graphics/GraphicsGems directory (Vol I-III)

Have fun!

   The comp.graphics FAQ says: 

All C code from the "Graphics Gems" series is available via anonymous ftp
from princeton.edu.  Look in the directory pub/Graphics/GraphicsGems for
the various volumes (Gems, GemsII, GemsIII), and get the README file first.

Errata to _Graphics Gems_ and _Graphics Gems II is available on
wuarchive.wustl.edu in graphics/graphics/books.
