Abstract
Segmentation is a well understood concept in computer graphics, having been a part of the expected functionality since virtually the start. However, perhaps because of this length of experience in using segments, there are actually many more variations than is generally realized. The basic concept is of a set of functions to control the storage, manipulation, and retrieval of collections of graphics primitives and associated attributes. Figure 7.1 shows a generalized graphics pipeline with three potential areas for the storage of graphical items.
