"Euclid is an object-oriented 3D graphics system. You can use it to construct scenes made from collections of 3D objects, and then view the results from any angle in a variety of styles.

In the Basic Ideas section you will find the key information on how a Euclid scene is built up and how to edit existing scenes.

The section called Object Creation covers the construction of new objects and scenes. Although construction of new objects is quite straightforward you will probably find that the easiest way to get to know Euclid is to manipulate files which have been constructed for you, especially the Example.

Other sections cover the use of Cameras and Lights, which are objects with special significance. Also furthur detials on File Maintenance and Topology are provided. A final section summarising all the menus in the system can be used as a reference guide."

A major feature of Acorn's RISC computers is the RISC OS operating system and the support it provides to programmers writing multi-tasking Desktop applications. This book provides Basic programmers with a complete introduction to all the techniques involved in writing multi-tasking Wimp programs to run within the RISC OS Desktop environment. No prior knowledge of the Wimp is assumed and the tutorial style of the book will enable all programmers to understand the concepts involved and to develop their skills in writing high quality programs for Acorn's RISC machines.

An accompanying disc, containing all the example programs described in the book, and additional applications, is available for £4.95 (inc. VAT) direct from the publishers. Our copy in the collection contains this accompanying 3.5" Floppy Disk.

Finding a computer manual pitched at the right level can be a difficult job. Many are pitched too high and are hard to understand, some fall at the other end of the scale and just do not contain all the answers needed. This book is aimed directly at the average classroom teacher or non-specialist IT Coordinator who needs to know enough to use the computer, solve any problems they encounter and keep things running smoothly, but doesn't want to spend every waking hour pawing through jargon-filled manuals. As well as helping with the 'basics', this book also has a comprehensive guide to common problems which occur, and their solutions, as well as quick reference/ start guides to many of the commonly used pieces of software in education.
