Does anyone know of an algorithm to project an arbitrarily
large number of dimensions onto a plane in perspective? It
seems logical that one could (with the exception of n=2)
project any n dimensions to n-1, and therefore project any n
onto any other n. Is this true?

If anyone has an algorithm to do this (even without perspective,
although perspective wouldn't be too much trouble, mathematically)
I would appreciate it greatly. Any pointers to literature on the
subject of n-dimensional geometry would also be helpful.
