What is Hidden Line Removal

Solid objects are typically modeled as polyhedra in the field of three-dimensional computer graphics. Within a polyhedron, a face is a planar polygon that is surrounded by straight line segments that are referred to as edges. When attempting to imitate curved surfaces, a polygon mesh is typically used. It is necessary for computer programs that are used to create line drawings of opaque objects to have the capability of determining whether edges or sections of the edges are hidden by the object itself or by other objects. This allows for the edges to be clipped during the rendering process. The difficulty in question is referred to as hidden-line removal.
