Abstract
For technical drawings and publications, we often have to produce line drawings, mainly because they are easier to handle and to reproduce. Sometimes it is also easier to demonstrate specific facts by means of line drawings than by means of painted images. For this reason, we dedicate this chapter to the removal of hidden lines. We will distinguish between algorithms that are screen-oriented and algorithms that can be used for plotter drawings.
