Method and apparatus for displaying polygon images, and recording medium

摘要

A similar polygon (B), which is larger than a basic polygon (A) and has a similar shape to the basic polygon (A), is disposed to face the obverse surface of the basic polygon (A). A different texture from that of the basic polygon (A) is pasted on the similar polygon (B). Then, a polygon image including the basic polygon (A) and the similar polygon (B) is displayed. When the polygon image is viewed from a certain viewpoint (X), the similar polygon (B) is seen behind the basic polygon (A) in a ring-like form, which serves as an edge of the basic polygon (A). As a result, a three-dimensional image using polygons can be provided with an edge. <IMAGE>
