  abstract = {
     Ray tracing is one of many way to use a computer to generate an image. Ray
    tracers produce images by simulating light. Eliminating the details that might
    distract one from the interesting parts of ray tracing algorithms was purpose
    of my thesis project.  The software I have written can be divide into three
    parts: the virtual frame buffer, the support classes and the ray tracing
    abstract base classes.
     The virtual frame buffer class, vfb, provides a simple means of rendering and
    studying the final image produced by a graphical algorithm. The support classes
    provide an elegant notation for the equations involved in ray tracing.  The ray
    tracing base classes and associated classes provide a object oriented structure
    for defining the objects that make up a scene.
