Defining solid objects. Comparing wire frame with constructive solid geometry representations
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5422454
The modelers of geometric objects measure their success by studying voluminous computer listings or, preferably, graphical output. Making this measurement even more difficult is that the modeler must determine what is an appropriate response for the computer to make in every conceivable situation; just as surely as a false premise negates the most careful reasoning, the modeler will find that any inconsistency in formulating this model will result in an inconsistency in its description of reality. Therefore, the first task that the modeler must address himself to is answering the question, What is a solid object.
