Amy, Which area of graphics? I was referring to the way that 3D-graphics processors accelerate the rendering of graphics images. Even state of the art graphics processors provide a limited feature set, and use inefficient algorithms for those features that they do accelerate. One example is that all geometries in a scene are shaded (colored) and texture mapped, even if they are completely hidden and will ultimately not be written into the framebuffer. Scumbria
