Katy, Have a look at http://www.physics.uoguelph.ca/morph/morph1.html And for a much more theoretical approach: http://www.panamorph.com/Technology.html OR http://web.phys.ksu.edu/icpe/Newsletters/n38/anamorph.htm "The German student Friedel Ulrich developed a program for anamorphic images with the raytracing method as a thesis in college at the German Gymnasium in Pfaffenhofen, Bavaria. The structure of his program is simple: a camera, a mirror object (cylinder, cone or sphere) and a plane can be selected and positioned. A digitalized image, e.g. from a digital camera, can be inserted. The program calculates the anamorphic image. The file ANAMORPHUENGLISH.ZIP with the program ANAENGL.EXE and a short help-file can be downloaded from the internet (URL:http://www.e20.physik.tumuenchen.de/~cucke/ftp/anamorph/ulrich/anam orphuenglish). With a Pentium 400MHz processor you need several minutes to calculate the anamorphic picture." Search Google under 'cylindrical anamorph' Best wishes, Jim ****************************** Jim Roberts Hon FMA Webmaster University of Leicester Department of Museum Studies http://www.le.ac.uk/museumstudies +44 (0)116 252 3961 ******************************** ________________________________ From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.
