4.2.3 Surface Rendering

The polygons that comprise an object can be displayed in a variety of forms: as a set of points, a wireframe, or polygons. Polygons can be given sharp, well-defined edges; alternatively, they may be smoothed to give a continuous surface. To illustrate the various forms, it is suggested that the following input cells are executed while watching the sphere in Dynamic Visualizer.
