[comp.graphics] Scan Conversion

SML108@PSUVM.BITNET (11/15/89)

Hi, does anyone out there have a reference to a fast algorithm for scan
converting an arbitrarily shaped closed region and filling it, given only a
list of points which define its outer surface...


ie, scan convert this blob, where *'s are the points given to you in an array:






                **   *
         *     * *  * *
        * *****  ***   *
       **              *
         *            *
        *       *     *
         ***   * *     *
            *  * *   ***
             **  ****

The algorithms I have seen for polygon scan conversion would fail at several
points in this figure.....
