	I do belive the word you are looking for is Z-buffering. Depth Cueing
refers to items looking darker the further they are away from the viewer.

	My solution to Z-buffering is to enter all polygons into a binary tree
, sorting by max depth, the doing a recursive traveral at display time. This
does require a lot of stack space and memory , it main disadvantage, but it
works well and the display code is easy to write.
