In this paper, we describe the main principles of our approach for the
visualization of surfaces and curves on them in three-dimensional space by
the use of line graphics. We also compare our approach with the standard
method of polygon mesh. Mainly, we discuss the representation of surfaces,
special lines on surfaces and lines of intersections of surfaces.
Furthermore, we address the problems of visibility and finding the contour
lines of surfaces. Finally we apply our method for visualizing some selected
topic in mathematics.
Keywords: Computer graphics, visualization, surface modeling, visibility and contour problems
