Abstract/Summary:
arsia and Ruedy established the existence of conformal embeddings of all Riemann surfaces into ;We present graphic tools of independent interest to geometers. The real-time interactive computer animators (sc RTICA) which incorporate these tools and which produce animated illustrations are described. In particular, we have sc RTICA that illustrate a Bishop and Frenet frame integrator and that illustrate the fundamental polyhedra in hyperbolic 3-space described by Jorgensen.;The production and presentation of sc RTICA are described as are the techniques for generating pic and Mathematica illustrations to be embedded into...
