About the technique used in 3D graphics wrapping in word processing Word wrap Unreferenced date December 2009 In computer graphics, wrapping is the process of limiting a position to an area. A good example of wrapping is wallpaper , a single pattern repeated indefinitely over a wall . Wrapping is used in 3D computer graphics to repeat a Texture mapping texture over a polygon , eliminating the need for large textures or multiple polygons. To wrap a position x to an area of width w , calculate the value math x equiv x pmod w math . Implementation For computational purposes the wrapped value x of x can be expressed as math x x lfloor x x min x max x min rfloor x max x min math where math x max math is the highest value in the range, and math x min math is the lowest value in the range. Pseudocode for wrapping of a value to a range other than 0 1 is function wrap X, Min, Max Real Real X X Int X Min Max Min Max Min if X 0 then This corrects the problem caused by using Int instead of Floor X X Max Min return X Pseudocode for wrapping of a value to a range of 0 1 is function wrap X Real Real X X Int X if X 0 then X X 1 return X Pseudocode for wrapping of a value to a range of 0 1 without branching is, function wrap X Real Real return X mod 1.0 1.0 mod 1.0 See also Clamping graphics Clamping DEFAULTSORT Wrapping Graphics Category Computer graphics algorithms ... more details

The lathing may be partial the amount of rotation is not necessarily a full 360 degrees. The point set providing the initial source data can be thought of as a cross section through the object along a plane containing its axis of radial symmetry. The lathe is so named because it produces the same type of object that a real lathe would produce an object that is symmetrical about an axis of rotation. However, unlike objects produced by a real lathe, the object can have an axis of rotation through a hole e.g. a torus . Lathes are very similar to surfaces of revolution. However, lathes are constructed by rotating a curve defined by a set of points instead of a Function mathematics function . Note that this means that lathes can be constructed by rotating closed curves or curves that double back on themselves such as the aforementioned torus , whereas a surface of revolution could not because such curves cannot be described by functions.

Texels can also be described by image regions that are obtained through a simple procedure such as thresholding. Voronoi diagram Voronoi tesselation can be used to define their spatial relationships. This means that a division is made at the half way point between the centroid of each texel and the centroids of every surrounding texel for the entire texture.
