  abstract =     "To determine a correct order for rendering
                 three-dimensional polygons, the commonly used Binary
                 Space-Partitioning (BSP) tree algorithm recursively
                 splits polygons whenever points of the polygons lie on
                 both sides of the spanning plane which, for large
                 schemes, significantly increases the number of
                 polygons. To keep the number of new polygons small, we
                 present an alternative algorithm that splits only
                 penetrating polygons and applies a topological sort to
                 the resulting polygons with respect to the covering
                 relation. Although the existence of a correct order
                 cannot be guaranteed in general, the new algorithm PITS
                 (polygon intersection topological sorting) has proved
                 to be successful for many polygonal approximations of
                 famous surfaces from geometry where it has been used to
                 produce quality PostScript output from OpenGL.",
