Thanks, Janek. I am a little confused with the last paragraph. How do I make
sure that, with time, OpenGL's orientation on the user interface is same as the
quaternion which is used in calculation?
Another question, in the file, I see vertices and faces being pushed back.
Also there is a triangulation function. Is this a general polygonization
method for any equation? Or is it only for a sphere-type particle? I think I
saw an opengl function in the web to draw spheres, sth like gluSphere.
Yours sincerely,
CW Boon
Will upload the routine in repository if it's successful
