Instead of using conventional line primitives, the technique draws triangle primitives and displays only the fragments on the edges of the triangles. Interior fragments are transparent. The new Geometry Shader available on the GeForce 8800 with DirectX10 can access all three vertex positions of a triangle, unlike previous Vertex Shaders, which process only one vertex at a time. Thus the Geometry Shader can compute results based on the edge information of a triangle. The fragment shader can then appropriately color the fragments to draw only the edges of the triangle. For hidden line removal, the depth test works with no error because the technique uses exactly the same filled faces as the depth pass. The effect is achieved with one pass requiring only the position attribute, thus making it straight forward to insert in a graphics engine. Samuel Gateau
