Describes a new hardware architecture known as an edge painting tree (EPT) pipelined binary trees for fast generation of scanline images for raster scan graphics targeted for surface or solid modelling. The hardware complexity of EPT is much smaller than that of earlier raster graphics engines owing to the use of 1 bit logic rather than log2
