摘要： Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention allow a user operating on a data processing computer to view geometry of an object model produced by an image generator hosted on an image processing computer by allowing the user to define a zone associated with the object model, slices of each zone, and viewpoints associated with the slices, controlling the graphics image generator to produce geometric images of the object model in accordance with the zone, slices, and viewpoints, and selectively navigating the images in accordance with the zone, slices, and viewpoints.
