Vertigo PC Plan Graphics Pipeline Language: C Libraries: DirectDraw Direct3D Algorithms: Double buffering, graphics hardware translations (3D manipulations) and MIP-mapping. Priority: Very High Requisite Components: None, fed by engine Platform Dependent: Yes. Some algorithms and methods may be shared between platforms. Data Structures: Description: The graphics pipeline is the subsystem responsible for taking three dimensional model data and two dimensional texture and converting this information to a two dimensional frame buffer which will be displayed on the screen. To speed the graphics pipeline, several steps must be performed. The three dimensional information must be sorted in negative Z order. The texture maps must all be square and the size of each side in pixels must be an even multiple of two. And finally, all drawing must utilize a double frame buffer - one buffer is written to while the other buffer is displayed.
