Hello,
I have a question on how to display a structure of a information tree in
a cone shape.  However, my code doesn't seem to work correctly.  I have
tried to solve for a few days without success.  Is there some algorithm
to calculate the position of the nodes (a,b,c,d,a1,....).  If so, please
show me the direction.  Thanks.
                              A
                             /|\
                            / | \
                           /  |  \
                          /   a1  \
                         a         b
                            c    d
Here is my code fragment.

  glColor3f(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
  glBegin(GL_LINES);
  glVertex2f(0.0, 0.0);
  xcenter = -cord_length * sin(current_angle);
  ycenter = -cord_length * cos(current_angle);
  glVertex2f(xcenter, ycenter);
  glEnd();
  /* Draw pendulum dish */
  glColor3f(1.0, 0.0, 0.0);
  x = xcenter + radius * sin(theta);
  y = ycenter + radius * cos(theta);
  glPushMatrix();
  glTranslatef(x,y,0);
  glutWireSphere(0.04,  20,   20);
  glPopMatrix();
  time = time + 1.5;
  current_angle = cos(omega * time);
  }
}
