Mostly math functions and some matrix routines
Simple functions to return objects position data
General routines increment size and add entries to arrays, and find dimensions of arrays (Dictionary above makes use of these routines)
Several routines to facilitate delete, create new layers and add objects to layers, as well as colors and materials for the layers.
Routines to add points to array and draw polyline entities, either absolute or relative point coordinates.
2 layers, One has raised topography and one uses bumpmap on a sphere.
Each has 2 materials, with and without clouds. Zipped download file is 17.5 MB.
