Abstract
Supplemental data, as textured data, for use with geometric data to produce a display image is expanded by relating between display space and model space. A texture map storing supplemental data is enhanced by first applying new texture data as color, to an image in two dimensional display space. The locations for the data in the dimensional model space are determined and transformed into texture map space to receive the applied new texture data. Texture data is placed in the texture map by scan conversion of texels and blending.
