Figure 9.8 Ray-traced spheres are shown, lit from the top left. An artefact of the
printing-to-file process (in 1990) occasionally causes darker strips to be drawn
across the page. The nine groups of cancers are the amalgamations of the lists
shown here. It is not easy to discern more than this number of distinct colours
along with the effects of shadows determined by the angle of the light source.
Note that these six images were original captured as screen dumps and so the
resolutions are relatively low.
