ABSTRACT:
An edge list constructor is used for polygon processing. Suppose an m-polygon is formed by m segments ending at two adjacent vertex elements: (Xn, Yn) as the starting point and (Xn+1, Yn+1) as the terminating point. A coordinate point sequence {Xn, Yn} on the two-dimensional X-Y plane defines the above m-polygon (where m is a natural number of not less than 3, n is a natural number not more than m, Xm+1=X1, Ym+1=Y1). When, among the elements of this coordinate vertex sequence {Xn, Yn}, the greatest Y coordinate value is Ymax and the smallest Y coordinate is Ymin and K is an integer not less than Ymin but not more than Ymax, the value f(K), which is the number of intersections made by an edge of the above m-polygon and the horizontal straight line where Y=K, is determined. During the process where edge list elements serially generated are stored into a memory, an edge list element is stored at a location apart from the previous edge list element storage location for Y=K by f(K).
