A method, and apparatus for practicing the method, processes pixels to display a cross-sectioned image of a solid object. The method includes the steps of, for each pixel that projects onto the solid object, (a) determining, as a function of a depth of a clipping plane at a pixel, a parity of the pixel;...http://www.google.fr/patents/US5428716?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US5428716 - Solid-clip methodology and architecture for clipping solid models and displaying cross-sections using depth-buffers
