Abstract
A technique is presented for the graphical representation of some contour (level) surfaces of a function of three variables defined by its values on an array of points (
x
i
,
y
j
,
z
k
). The algorithm involves drawing and projecting the contour curves corresponding to the cross sections
x
=
x
I
and
y
=
y
j
. Because the curves are drawn as thick, opaque bands, which mask all bands in the immediate background, a sense of depth is retained, yet background contours are still visible between the bands.
