Expand description
Polygonal hidden line removal: project, classify, draw.
The mesh does the occlusion work. The drawing’s curves come from two places: the model’s own edges, discretized by the same machinery every face boundary uses, and the tessellation’s silhouettes, the mesh edges where the surface turns away from the eye. Every sampled segment is classified by casting its midpoint toward the eye against the whole mesh: a triangle strictly in front hides it. Runs of same-classified segments merge back into polylines, so a curve that dips behind a boss comes out as visible, hidden, visible: three curves, which is what a drawing shows.
Polygonal, not exact: the classification is as fine as the tessellation
and the sampling. That is the honest half of HLRBRep; the exact half
(curve/surface interference resolved analytically) is deferred and the
parity ledger says so; see docs/PARITY.md, hlr.projection.
