We have constructed a graphics display based on scanline hardware which
requires primitive objects which are trapezoids with horizontal bases.
We are therefore seeking pointers to algorithms which dissect polygons
into these primitives. I vaguely remember a posting here a couple of years
ago, so I know at least one exists. I'd appreciate hearing from you if
you can provide a reference.
