Hello, stereometry needs imagination or more experience, to understand cross-sections and so on
I found some interactive example http://www.learner.org/courses/learningmath/geometry/session9/part_c/index.html I'd like to have sage interact for solid construction and cutting_plane parameters and then view it around via jmol :) in school this is mostly needed for parallelepiped or pyramid solids: mysolid = SomeSolid(apex_points_3D) # and I can get, mysolid.surface_planes() #so I'd expect to have algorithms which detect intersection = Intersection(mysolid, cutting_plane) # we get some 2D polygon, # probably first analytically find intersection.lines # and then solve the # self.segmets = self.endpoints (self.lines , self.mysolid) # for conic would be some different approach ... intersection.fill() # or draw() would draw some lines or color to show it what does sage have already, and what would need to be hacked? Thanks in advance :) ps.: just for reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(geometry) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conic_section -- Jurgis Pralgauskis Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
