Generates coordinates for points on the surface of an
and puts them into a file, with an option for generating the
normals at each point.
The output format (for normal too) is compatible with that
read by the cellsheet routine.
A routine for generating a set of points on an ellipsoid
(egg). It tries to get fairly even spacing. This routine
generates 3-d coordinates for the surface of an ovoid, i.e.
an
egg. The coordinates are dumped into the file specified by
filename with one set of coordinates per line.
This routine was developed for the olfactory bulb simulation,
to generate cell layers along an ovoid.
