I thought I'd learn 3D now, and the fundamental parts are vertices as far as I understand (I like to understand things thoroughly(sp?)) I took the vertex example of the help and changed it like this:
The first part plots the x,y of the vertices of this traingle as I would think of it (after all y is still up/dn and x is still right/left in 3d, and bigger x is more right and bigger y is more down). The part that shows the 3d result confuses me. If I don't set the vertex with the lowest x,y as the last (index 2) (and so forth) nothing shows, and if I do so (as in the code above) the resulting triangle is the exact opposite of what I expected...
Assume that the first answer is 0,0, the next 5,0 and the third 0,5..
