PostScript description of the structure

 

The structure is represented with three faces of a box printed with different shades of black. The program has four procedures. One procedure for each face and a main procedure calling these three procedures. The main procedure takes one pair of coordinates in two dimensional space as an input. These are is the upper right coordinates of the front face of the box. Then the procedures drawing the faces are called one by one and the faces filled. This is done for all the boxes starting at the back of the structure and moving towards the front. Some lines representing the coordinate system are also printed.
