Title: Hexahedron Projection by Triangle Fans and Strips

Abstract

The program divides the projection of a hexahedron with not-necessarily-planar quadrilateral faces, such as would arise in a curvilinear grid, by the projections of its edges, into polygons overlapped by a single front-facing and a single back-facing face. These polygons are further organized into triangle strips and fans, for rapid volume rendering in graphics hardware.

This code is a more complete version of the code simple.c in the hiac2 package available at http://www.llnl.gov/graphics/software.html, in that it successfully handles more projection configurations, but its calling method has been changed so that it no longer directly fits into that package.
