[comp.graphics] 3-D Vector Clipping References

dennis@longs.LANCE.ColoState.Edu (Dennis Miyoshi) (03/13/91)

Hello,

I am searching for 3-D vector clipping algorithms for clipping vector
data to multiple sided Polygons.  The vector data we are using is for
Spatial Data and more specifically Geographical Information Systems.
Frequently, the size of the data sets are very large by our standards.
I have been told that the Cyrus-Beck algorithm is the best, however,
I have not been able to find the algorithm in the local University
Library.  If someone would please send me the Cyrus-Beck algorithm or
any other references, I would appreciate it.
