you have gone to complex! - I was hoping for a simple list :) - I have not
done anything with ISO surfaces and the like - period, if it can be made
understandable to me, then anybody should be able to use the library

the intention is not just to provide a list of formulas, but include a
rendered image, sample source, and any other notes that the functions author
feels the need to share (and anything any others have to say as well), its a
question of how I can break a long list of items down into easily find-able
sections

(or if anybody fancies joining the staff with the post 'master of functions
')
