A compliant sectioning facility for interactive sectioning of solid geometric objects using a graphics processor

A hierarchical data storage schema is provided which associatively links a master solid object model in a graphics data processing system to a solid model of a sectioning object. The associative linking provides the capability of automatically generating sectioned views when the master object is mod...

Zusammenfassung:A hierarchical data storage schema is provided which associatively links a master solid object model in a graphics data processing system to a solid model of a sectioning object. The associative linking provides the capability of automatically generating sectioned views when the master object is modified. These views are generated at the operator's request without the necessity of having to apply sectioning objects to each one of the subsequent views. An interactive facility is provided for creating such structures.
