On Thu, 10 Nov 2011 L. Nobre G. submitted an update to the
featpost
package.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FeatPost obtained a new macro to draw spheroids which is based on the
invariance of quadratic surfaces. Backward compatibility is maintained with the
exception of the perspective macro rp which now depends on the global variable
MaxFearLimit. If your figures look odd, change the value of this variable to
50 or more. Take a look at the example revolipsoid.mp.
