Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reference. I've loaded it to good effect. Thanks Andreas.
Like Hannes, I was struck with the small amount of code. This shows the high level of abstraction that is being achieved in these media classes. Great stuff.
I went to have a look at the code behind the demo but couldn't find any!
What's the trick? Where is the "code" behind the demo? I think delivering something like this which gives a very obvious demo of the underlying code is great.
Thanks to all,
Cheers,
Stewart

Hi, Hannes and Stewart -
An important post on this topic was back on Fri, 4 Feb 2000 11:16:16. It tells you to go into a morphic project and execute (eg from a workspace)...
Project thumbnailFromUrl:
'http://www.squeak.org/Squeak2.0/FinalFrontier.morph.gz'.
This downloads both the latest code for B3DSphereMorph and a demo project.
That programmer who earned your praise is Andreas Raab.

PS: FYI, Duane Maxwell also posted some very efficient sphere display code just before that under the same subject heading, [GOODIE] Texture-mapped spheres
