Abstract

Pixel-oriented approaches for generating line drawings have been used by several authors in the last years. We extend given G-Buffer based methods by adding a special way of generating hatching lines and subsequently applying half-toning Operations. Hatching lines are created by intersecting the model with a set of planes. Half-toning is done on the basis of hatching lines and corresponding areas for which the appearance of the lines should approximate the given intensity distribution.

This article is a slightly changed preprint of the chapter „Pixel-oriented Rendering of Line Drawings“to be published in the book: Th. Strothotte, H. Wagener (Eds.): „Abstraction in Interactive Computational Visualization — Exploring Complex Information Spaces“, Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg
