Abstract
Highly elaborated visualization techniques that are based on
surfaces often are independent from the origin of the surface data.
Nevertheless, most of the recently presented advanced visualizatio
methods were developed
for a specific type of surface although principally applicable
to generic surfaces. In this paper we discuss a unified surface
interrogation model which provides generic access to surface
properties up to degree two, i.e., surface-point locations,
normals, and curvature properties, regardless of the origin
of the surface. Surface types and interrogation algorithms
are compared and summarized. At the end of this paper we present
an object-oriented implementation of this model, called {\sc{}Smurf
