Abstract: SURFAC is a package of three programs, SURGEN.BAS,
MESH.B2S and CONTUR.B2S for producing contour and mesh
(cross-hatched) plots of surfaces defined by single
valued functions Z = f(x,y). The mesh plots are
presented in true perspective with hidden lines removed,
and can be viewed from user selected viewpoints. Input
to each program is driven by a menu. SURGEN evaluates
the user supplied function over a regular rectangular xy
grid, storing the function values in a virtual disk
file, used as input by both MESH and CONTUR. As
supplied, these programs drive a HP2647A Graphics
Terminal, but calls to the device dependent subprograms
are grouped and identified to facilitate replacement by
analogous routines for other graphics devices.
