[x3d-public] Complexity - was Shaders and Triangles
Hi Holger;
Nice to hear from you again. Thanks for the details of DirectX
mapping, something that I have absolutely no knowledge of.
To all:
I like to learn from those who have gone before; one paper that
I read back in my University days was Hoare's ACM Turing Award
acceptance speech "hot off the press". I have a paper copy, but
managed to find an on-line scan:
http://www.braithwaite-lee.com/opinions/p75-hoare.pdf
It's a bit old, but the ideas behind it are timeless. I would
suggest that if at all interested, read it.

Hoare's paper tells us how to handle this.
