Abstract
A method for rendering elements in a browser includes determining a first element and a line grid element to be rendered in three dimensions (3D) in the browser. The browser treats individual elements as having independent 3D spaces in the browser. The method transforms and projects the first element into a 3D space for the browser in which lines of the line grid element will be drawn. Geometry information for the first element in the 3D space is determined after the transform and projection into the 3D space. The positions are calculated in the 3D space to hide lines of the line grid element based on the geometry information for the first element and geometry information for the lines of the line grid element. The method renders lines in the 3D space in the browser, wherein portions of the lines are hidden based on the calculated positions.
