    • Scan Converting Extruded Lines at Ultra High Definition 

      Willis, Philip; Watters, Geoff (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987)
      We consider the problem of generating freehand raster graphics pictures at ultra high definition (typically one gigapixel per picture) by scan converting extruded lines. We describe a fast scan conversion algorithm which ...
    • A Scanline Method for Solid Model Display 

      Patel, Manjula; Hubbold, Roger J. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987)
      The modelling of solid objects is becoming increasingly important in the application of computer graphics to a wide variety of problems, such as CAD/CAM, simulation, and molecular modelling. A variety of methods for rendering ...
    • A Simple and Efficient Haloed Line Algorithm for Hidden Line Elimination 

      Franklin, W.R; Akman, V. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987)
      An efficient algorithm, HALO, is given to compute haloed line drawings of wire frame objects. Haloed line drawings are described by Appel et al.1HALO has two parts: CUT and DRAW. CUT uses an adaptive grid to find all edge ...
    • UltraPaint: A New Approach to a Painting System 

      Watters, Geoff; Willis, Philip (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987)
      The ideas underlying a Painting System being developed at the University of Bath are introduced. This differs from a conventional system in that ultra high definition pictures of upto 1 gigabyte may be created. We discuss ...
    • Using Abstract Data Types To Define Large-scale World Models For Image Generation Systems 

      Marsh, S.C.; Grimsdale, R.L. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987)
      The creation of databases for real-time image generation systems is expensive and time consuming. This is mostly due to the method of defining the world models which can currently represent an area of up to 500,000 sq Km. ...
