	I am no graphics programming expert (but I play one in my
dreams. ;^)) but I have been reading comp.graphics for a
year or so. I seem to recall that a similar series of articles
appeared some months ago. I am going on vague memory here, but
the consensus for the fastest (or one of the fastest) ways to
do rotation was something called the CORDIC algorithm (I think). 
Does anyone recall this series of articles? Would this apply to
the question currently under discussion? 

	I hope this is of some help.
