Hallo,

in the Mathematica lines below I am doing the following:
- lpts is a list of (x,y,z) coordinates
- these points are plotted usign ScatterPlot3D, which returns a Graphics3D
object.
- Using Project I project the Graphics3D object onto the y-z plane
- Project also returns a Graphics3D object
- I use ViewPoint -> {10^200, 0, 0} to make it look like a 2D graphics
object

My question: is there a way to convert the Graphics3D object into a real 2D
Graphics object?

<<Graphics`Graphics3D`

In[14]:= lpts = Table[{ t Cos[t],  t Sin[t], t}, {t, 0, 4Pi, Pi/20}];

In[15]:= spir = ScatterPlot3D[lpts]
- graphics not shown -
Out[15]= -Graphics3D-

In[16]:= Show[Project[spir, {{0, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 0}}, {0, 0, 0}], ViewPoint
-> {10^200, 0, 0}]
- graphics not shown -
Out[16]= -Graphics3D-


thanks for your help
