Abstract
In a method for two-dimensional pixel representation of an object on a display device, to represent the object surface using polygonal surface elements pixel values are determined for vertices of the surface elements in a central processing unit. The pixel values are transferred, along with the coordinates of the vertices, to an image generating unit such as a graphics card, where the pixel values for all pixels in the representation are determined by interpolation.
