Make Stereo Graphic Images in Excel

I am looking for a way to do surface graphs on openoffice 3

I have a 3D camera and have taken lots of 3D slides. Hand made 3D images don't work well. Trying to make gif movies with these slides seems to really highlight some of the mild imperfections in the camera. I haven't yet figured out how to make all the corrections yet, but it looks like its worth at try.

I have a hard time using the cross eye method too. See the instructable at http://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_view_stereo_graphic_images/ . It looks like a way needs to be found as to finding out how a person's eyes naturally relax. Then the images could be adjusted for what is most natural.

There does seem to be a problem with the scaling. In the pdf format, the view can be scaled and apparently needs to be. The question is in the instructable page, can one scale be found that suits all?

I believe the images should be adjusted to suit the viewer. I have come up with a way to measure my natural double vision which for now works for me. If I hold out hand in front of a white screen with one finger, when I relax my eyes I will see two fingers. I find that with my right hand I can align my second finger with the right image of my first finger. I end up with my first two fingers being apart the same amount as my natural double vision. Some people might have better luck doing this using the left hand. Anyway, if the images are spaced to match a person's natural double vision, he will only have to relax his eyes to view in 3D. Now different people probablity have different natural double vision. When I open and close one eye, I find the left image belongs to the right eye and visa versa. The challenge is to be able to make adjustments to the images to match each and everybody's natural double vision. Nobody should have to strain their eyes. Its might be much easier if an effective way could be found to measure and modify the images to every individual. There appears to be enough differences in terms of which image goes where. I wonder what the spread is in natural double vision for the general population.

I sure wish I could used an older version of excel on my MacBook Pro. What versions are available for people who are not using Macs?

Can OpenOffice do 3D surfaces?

There is a question on how to make things easiest on everyone. It probably should not be too surprising if everyone's eyes relax differently. The images are easy enough to adjust so that viewing is more natural. The instructable at http://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_view_stereo_graphic_images/ is in this direction.
