  2. Vector overlay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_overlay

    Clip (ArcGIS, QGIS, GRASS, Manifold; Extract Inside in TNTmips): The result includes the portions of polygons of one layer where they intersect the other layer. The outline is the same as the intersection, but the interior only includes the polygons of one layer rather than computing the LCGUs. Non-commutative, non-associative

  3. Buffer analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_analysis

    Merge or dissolve the rectangles and circles into a single polygon. Software implementations of the buffer operation typically use alterations of this strategy to process more efficiently and accurately. In Mathematics, GIS Buffer operation is a Minkowski Sum (or difference) of a geometry and a disk. Other terms used: Offsetting a Polygon. [5]

  4. Weiler–Atherton clipping algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weiler–Atherton_clipping...

    Candidate polygons should not be self-intersecting (i.e., re-entrant). The algorithm can support holes (as counter-clockwise polygons wholly inside their parent polygon), but requires additional algorithms to decide which polygons are holes, after which merging of the polygons can be performed using a variant of the algorithm.

  5. Z-buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering

    A depth buffer, also known as a z-buffer, is a type of data buffer used in computer graphics to represent depth information of objects in 3D space from a particular perspective. The depth is stored as a height map of the scene, the values representing a distance to camera, with 0 being the closest.

  6. Sliver polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliver_polygon

    Sliver polygons are typically created when polygons are automatically generated from lines that should be coincident (e.g., an international boundary following a river de jure, or two adjacent counties) but are not, due to the natural discrepancies that arise from manual or automated digitization.

  7. Data model (GIS) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_model_(GIS)

    Some GIS software, such as ArcGIS Pro, natively supports this model, with functionality including animation. Time-stamped boundaries , using the topological vector data model to decompose polygons into boundary segments, and stamping each segment by the time during which it was valid.

  9. Hidden-surface determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-surface_determination

    New polygons are then cut against already displayed segments that would hide them. An S-buffer can display unsorted polygons, while a C-buffer requires polygons to be displayed from the nearest to the furthest. Because the C-buffer technique does not require a pixel to be drawn more than once, the process is slightly faster.
