Abstract
A cross-section data generating device includes a storage that stores therein a three-dimensional polygon model provided with color information, and a processor that executes a program to perform a shape obtaining process of obtaining a shape of an outline of the three-dimensional polygon model at a cross section that intersects the three-dimensional polygon model, and a color information obtaining process of obtaining color information of the outline at the cross section.
Claims18
A cross-section data generating device comprising:
- a storage that stores a three-dimensional polygon model including color information;
- a shape obtaining processor configured or programmed to obtain a shape of an outline of the three-dimensional polygon model at a cross section, which is a plane that intersects the three-dimensional polygon model;
- and
- a color information obtaining processor configured or programmed to obtain color information of the outline at the cross section, wherein
- the color information of the outline includes color information of points and lines of the shape;
- and
- the shape of the outline includes points of intersection between the cross section and the three-dimensional polygon model and lines of intersection between the cross section and the three-dimensional polygon model.
A cross-section data generating method comprising:
- a shape obtaining step of obtaining a shape of an outline of a three-dimensional polygon model, provided with color information and stored in a storage, at a cross section, which is a plane that intersects the three-dimensional polygon model;
- and
- a color information obtaining step of obtaining color information of the outline at the cross section, wherein
- the color information of the outline includes color information of points and lines of the shape;
- and
- the shape of the outline includes points of intersection between the cross section and the three-dimensional polygon model and lines of intersection between the cross section and the three-dimensional polygon model.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program executable by a computer capable of reading a storage storing therein a three-dimensional polygon model provided with color information to execute a method comprising:
- a shape obtaining process of obtaining a shape of an outline of the three-dimensional polygon model at a cross section, which is a plane that intersects the three-dimensional polygon model;
- and
- a color information obtaining process of obtaining color information of the outline at the cross section, wherein
- the color information of the outline includes color information of points and lines of the shape;
- and
- the shape of the outline includes points of intersection between the cross section and the three-dimensional polygon model and lines of intersection between the cross section and the three-dimensional polygon model.
