I believe this would only be true for perspective projections, not orthographic, since there is no real "eye" position in orthographic projections (which are more common in molecular diagrams). Of course, feel free to correct me if I am wrong :) Jonathan ******************************************************* Jonathan Parrish ph(780)-492-8249 Alberta Synchrotron Institute University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2E1 ******************************************************* "Trusting to escape scrutiny by fixing the public gaze upon the exceeding brightness of military glory, that attractive rainbow that rises in showers of blood that serpent's eye, that charms to destroy, he plunged into war." -Abraham Lincoln *******************************************************
