The following files work, but are very slow. You can have different colors according to whether the vertices are in clockwise or counterclockwise order: Angle...

Ron, Just another small suggestion: could the arrow-heads be a little bigger and longer? It's pretty hard to make them out....

I'm on my way to figuring out how to do cross-hatching with parameter lists. This approach seems like it's going to be several times faster than taking a slice...

Ron, If there were some way to turn off the lines where this function goes from a modulus of zero, I'd be able to have nice dotted circles. If it's not too...

I spoke too soon. There's an easy way to do this just by using "if". The only problem is that the spacing changes as the line segment is stretched, but...

Here's an updated version on determining the regions of a triangle via determinants. I think this coloring scheme makes it a lot cleaerer what's going on. Here...

Here's the beginning of the correct way to do this, with parallelograms determined by a side and a general point, P. The areas of these parallelograms (when...

You can get any colors by using color mapping. Here I could put light enough colors in the background to not obscure the stuff in front....
