Now, before anyone responds with a "read the FAQ", I have, and this question
is about a different problem.  I need to rotate a 2D bitmap around all three
axis (X and Y, in addition to Z).  I haven't been able to locate the article
referenced in the FAQ, so the code I have does little good to explain how I
could expand the shear transform method to all three dimentions?  

Does anybody out there have code to do a rotations of a 2D bitmap in 3D using
the shear transform?  This seems much more straight-forward than doing a
'normal' transformation backwards (to avoid holes).

Thanks in Advance!

Bill
