  • Abstract
    The interaction between computer graphics and computational geometry is explored through two scenarios. Spatial subdivisions studied from the viewpoint of computational geometry are shown to have found application in computer graphics. Hidden surface removal problems of computer graphics have led to sweep-line and area subdivision algorithms in computational geometry. Two promising research area with practical applications, precise computation and polyhedral decomposition, are examined
