I like this.
I don't think I can contribute that much. I would like to though. I have
been working in Java with my animation program
(http://www.cc.utah.edu/~jer29950/lani), and I can contribute a class for
LineType1. Most useful is a rotation function that I would like to think
is optimized pretty good. However, I am no computer scientist, so maybe it
isn't any good. And it took me forever to write it (well, copy if from a
book, optimize it a bit more, and make it useful to me). So I am not
exactly a super resource, but I would like to see what Jeremy is proposing
take off.
