[comp.graphics] hidden line removal algorithms

davis@cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Angus Davis) (08/05/89)

I am looking for references to hidden line removal algorithms which
need only handle inter-penetrating planar polygons.  I am not really
interested in code, although relatively good pseudo-code would be
appreciated.  Please send email directly to me or post a bibliography
to the net.  Thanks in advance.
