Abstract (en)

A method of correlating on straight lines with a correlation window in an interactive display including the steps of: a) defining a correlation window on a display area and dividing the rest of the display area into eight surrounding regions. b) determining which lines stored as coordinates in a display list buffer can be trivially accepted or rejected by computing the configuration of regions in which the end points lie. c) determining for each line not trivially accepted or rejected, on which side of the line one or two selected corner points of the correlation window lie and consequently whether or not it intersects the correlation window.
