Three-Dimensional Representation of a Cylinder on a Graphics Display Device.

Lynch, Alan; Jenison, Roland

Engineering Design Graphics Journal, v51 n3 p24-28 Fall 1987

Demonstrates one method for finding parallel tangents to a cylinder based on geometric properties of the three dimensional representation of the cylinders. Uses rotational transformations to obtain a three dimensional view. Provides a starting point for those studying geometric methods as a lead into computer assisted drafting. (CW)
