Apache Commons JSP Web Implementation

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:03:02 -0400

If you are a Java developer then you are very familiar with The Apache Commons. This web app is just basically a web implementation of the commons’ Math library. Here is an excerpt from the Commons’ website about Commons Math:

Commons Math is a library of lightweight, self-contained mathematics and statistics components addressing the most common problems not available in the Java programming language or Commons Lang.

This is just a simple 2D rendering of the famous Sierpinski gasket.

This was rendered using recursion, simple math, and GL_LINES.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "GL/glut.h"

#include<GL/glut.h>

    //if(perimeter > 0.01)
    //  return;

    if(current_depth >= 12)
        return;
