Well, I wrote a multiple regression program for 3D XYZ data sets, and
used Allegro to plot and rotate the polynomial surfaces with the 3D
XYZ data sets on them.  Rotates and zooms in/out really fast.  Right
now I'm using z-depth sorting out of laziness, but will switch to the
painter's algorithm in the future.  I used the NEWMAT09 matrix library's
QR triangularization routines to solve the linear equation matrices,
it is an excellent matrix library.  You can select and de-select
any polynomial coefficients for the fitting with the handy-dandy
Allegro dialog controls, this makes the fitting interactive and is
really great to use.  Not finished yet, probably will tinker with
this for years.  At least I hope so...
