Description

  This module is a C co-routine, that includes an X-window application.
  It has an interactive pallet window, for defining the profile
  of a "lathe" object. This profile is turned into a 3D geometric
  object by surface of revolution.

  The object generation also includes 2D or 3D texture coordinates,
  so that the "render geometry" module can provide interactive texture
  mapping. 

  The interactor operates in normal "button up" mode, or in immediate
  mode, where it sends new geometry as the mouse is moving.

  See the example network lathe.net.
  
  This is a good example of building a "poly triangle strip"
  with uvw texture coordinates.
