We are interested in any work that has been done in Smalltalk on the
following:
1. Hidden line removal for three-dimensional graphics representations
2. Fill for non-rectangular areas that are reasonably efficient.
(Yes, we do know about the "smear" technique as per the Tektronix
Form class examples.)
Any ideas on the above will be appreciated.

Have you seen the area fill in The Analyst (by Xerox Special Information Systems) ? It performs acceptably fast and is fun to look at on the screen :-) I don't know whether the method is available separately, but I suspect that it is based on some published algorithm and that a decent Smalltalk hacker should be able to reproduce it in a day or so. I'll look it up... >--dick peskin <peskin@caip.rutgers.edu> Hans-Martin Mosner <hmm@unido.uucp> -- Hans-Martin Mosner | Don't tell Borland about Smalltalk - | hmm@unido.{uucp,bitnet} | they might invent Turbo Smalltalk ! | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer: Turbo Smalltalk may already be a trademark of Borland...
