Abstract

Some time ago, in the Interesting Mathematical Problems section, we described the problem of how many ways to divide a 2 × 2 × 2 cube into two continuous parts. Some of the readers solved the problem on their own, and others may have believed our solution, but wouldn't it be better if we could see it for ourselves?
The spatial picture may be a little more illustrative than a two-dimensional image. A picture can help us see something we might otherwise only imagine. A three-dimensional picture can be even more visual than a two-dimensional picture. And creating a spatial image can be quite easy if we have a simple language to describe it, and even easier if we use a program to create it.
