Abstract

The obvious thing to want to do, given a scheme, is to be able to draw its polygons at successive levels of refinement. Although this is an obvious requirement, it is far from the whole story, and subsequent chapters in this part will address the real requirements. However, as a preliminary to that, we shall consider some different ways of programming the refinement steps themselves, making polygons, given the scheme and the initial polygon. The first three of these are each obvious, but they differ, depending on the way that you really look at the refinement equation.
