Applet source code was a modified version of the code from this book:

Computational Geometry in C (2nd Ed.).  Cambridge University Press, September 1998.
 

 

The 3D applet was created using source code from The Java(TM) Boutique.

 

 

HTML presentation was inspired from Sun's Java documentation pages.
