A book which may be of some interest is a book called "Collected
Algorithims" by David Douglas.  I believe the book comes out of the
Harvard graphics/geographic systems lab somehow.  I know I have seen
the book .. and it contains some very interesting algs of this nature.

Also interesting is a paperback book entitled _A_Programmer's_Geometry_
(I forgot the author) which has a wealth of information about geometric
routines used often in computer graphics.
