[comp.graphics] 3D Surface plot w/ hidd. lines removed-Wanted

jonm@ur-valhalla.UUCP (07/09/87)

Greetings!
 I am currently working on a surface plotting routine that removes
 hidden lines and was wondering if anyone else has solved this very
 common problem.  z=f(x,y) and the implementation uses SunCore,
 but I am willing to look at anything.  I would appreciate source 
 code or pointers on where to look.  Please e-mail me and if there
 is enough interest I will post a summary.  Thanks in advance.

Try Foley and VanDam - I believe I recall complete code - either
Pascal or some related easily deciphered pseudo language.  The topic is
developed incrementally in a logical and useful fashion.  For example,
if you *know* some things about your data set, you may not need to implement
the complete algorithm.
