Solid of revolution - by MarcosJSP

The main idea behind this project is to draw a two-dimensional figure that will be our surface of revolution, and then, based on the revolution of that figure, a three-dimensional figure will be generated.

To make it more clear, here is an visual example of what i'm talking about (2D Mode is where we draw the two-dimensional figure and 3D Mode is where the 3D figure is generated):

Development

As you can already tell, we have 2 main screens:

• 2D Mode

  

  Figure 2 - 2D Mode

  This mode is the first thing we see when we enter the program and If we divide the screen it in two halves we can see that:

  • The first half: Is where the current mode shows up (2D Mode in this case). It also contains all the keys and mouse short-cuts that the user can use in this mode.
  • The second half: Is where we can draw the two-dimensional figure that later will be revolutioned.

• 3D Mode

This mode is accessed from the 2D Mode when hitting the M key, and here is where we can see the three-dimensional figure generated from the revolution of the two-dimensional figure.

Figure 3 - 3D Mode

As we can see in the Figure 3 all the short-cuts for this mode are shown if we hit the H key which will lead to a screen that looks like the figure 4:
