Abstract
Two fundamental scan line procedures are considered from the point of view of parallel implementation on transputer networks. The paper describes algorithms for the scan conversion of polygons, and the related hidden surface elimination problem for three-dimensional models with polygonal data structures. In each case parallel designs have been implemented and timed in various configurations against a functionally equivalent, but not necessarily optimized, single processor code. The results presented demonstrate that scan line algorithms can be efficiently implemented on suitably configured networks of transputers.
