[comp.graphics] Sutherland-Hodgman algorithm

11BDODD@GALLUA.BITNET (02/12/90)

  I am taking Computer Graphics class.  I can't find an algorithm I need
in my book.
  May I have an algorithm of Sutherland-Hodgman?  It is about clipping graph
algorithm.


Thank-you,
Beverly Dodd

Does anyone get the idea that Beverly wants a reference to Sutherland-
Hodgman? <grin>

  I have the Sutherland-Hodgman algoithm in a book, which I do not have with
  me. If you still need it send me a message to remind me and I will bring the
  book in. It is in the new (as yet unpublished) version of Foley's book. I
  don't know if it is in the old version. I'll have to check.
