Abstract

Generally speaking, it is impossible for a wire-frame to define a 3D object uniquely. But wire-frame as a graphics medium is still applied in some industrial areas. A sufficient condition is presented in this paper. If this condition is satisfied by a wire-frame, then the wire-frame can represent a 3D object uniquely. The result is applied to manufacturing of progressive stripe.
