OK. here it is, The applet for inversion with respect to a sphere as a Rhino4 plugin available for free download from:

Any questions or comments please let me know. I’d love to be able to post images or links to show any ways anybody finds of using it.

Hey Daniel, I’m a pen and paper mathematician and use inversion in a sphere in my work. Unfortunately I am not the best with computers and when i tried to look at the applet, the computer told me I didn’t have the correct viewer or something like that. Any chance you could tell me what I need to see the applet?
All the best,Julie

Hi Julie,
Im afraid this applet is written for Rhino(a commercial 3D software) and wont run without it.
This is a limitation I would very much like to overcome in future projects, as I want my work to connect with a wide range of people, not just those who own particular software.
I’m now programming more in a language called Processing, which is free, open source, and will run in most web browsers.
I do intend to use this language to write some similar 3D applets which are non platform dependent, but it means not having the nice set of 3D tools I had to call on when programming in Rhino, so I’ll need to learn lots of new stuff and it might take a while.

Hi Daniel, I tried to use your applet for rhino 5 but unsuccessfully. Is it for rhino 4 only ? would you have upgraded it for rhino 5 by any chance ? or am I just doing things wrong ?
best
