There's a picture on the Wikipedia page, just look at where the axis' go and replace x, y and z with where they go in your coordinate system. > Time to learn some vector math I suppose.

However... formal math courses are very, well, formal. :) The way I see it, to simply go through an online tutorial would be more pragmatic. All you need are two or three dimensions, not a general definition. Frankly, it's usually enough to have heard something before so you know it's there and can look it up when you need it. Then again, if the course would be during work hours, then why not follow up with one after you've got a basic understanding. Of course, those on the list with a formal math background will disagree. :) Mark _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
