Listing 13 . Source code for the program named DotProb3D03.
/*DotProd3D03.java
Copyright 2008, R.G.BaldwinRevised 03/07/08
The purpose of this program is to demonstrate a practicaluse of the vector dot product - backface culling.
Study Kjell through Chapter 10, Angle between 3D Vectors.The program draws a 3D circular cylinder by stacking 20
circular disks on the x-z plane. The disks are centered onthe y-axis and are parallel to the x-z plane. The
thickness of each disk is 5 vertical units.Backface culling is done using the dot product between a
vector that is parallel to the viewpoint of the viewer anda vector that is perpendicular to the line being drawn to
form the outline of a disk. The backface cullingprocess is good but not perfect. There is some leakage
around the back on the right and left sides of thecylinder and some short lines segments are visible that
should not be visible.Tested using JDK 1.6 under WinXP.

Using Java and the game-math library named GM02 , or using a different programming environment of your choice, write a program that createsthe drawing of half of a 3D sphere protruding upward from the x-z plane as shown in Figure 7 . The north and south poles of the sphere lie on the y-axis, but only thenorthern hemisphere is visible.
Cause your name to appear in the screen output in some manner.
Figure 7 - Output from Exercise 1.
Beginning with a program similar to the one that you wrote in Exercise 1 , create a drawing of a 3D sphere as shown in Figure 8 . The north and south poles of the sphere lie on the y-axis.
Figure 8 - Output from Exercise 2.
