If we beg at the master's feet perhaps he will yield?

Also, the rotating models of these great trees are incredibly inspirational tools. It allows for a view not often encountered or appreciated by most people. For example, the tallest eastern hemlock looks rather ordinary from the ground. But consider the views below based on direct measurements. Not your typical hemlock! We can now generate scale views from any whole degree direction. The views below are main trunk branches and reiterated limb segments only- NO limb branches yet. <image001.gif> Due south view <image006.gif> Due west view <image007.gif> Due north view <image008.gif> Due east view Will F.

What I want to know is how the 3D data you collect is used? Is it for volume measurements? Do you ever attempt to visualize the data? Would something like that be of use to you? -Jon _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: Unclutter your desktop. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9690331&ocid=PID24727::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:WWL_WIN_evergreen:112009 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
