Abstract

A computer is provided with polyhedron corners. The computer uses the polyhedron corners to automatically determine the corresponding polyhedron edges and polyhedron areas and thus a closed polyhedron. The polyhedron corresponds to the selected portion of a volume. Only this selected portion is evaluated by the computer and is represented, in particular, by an output medium.
