It's C++ code :-( And nearly no comments :-(( I myself will need some time to find out what part does what. But nevertheless, if it can help, I will be happy to privide with it. Maybe it's faster than writing from scratch and tracking all the bugs ... > Also, currently the native mpl structures are polygons instead of a > triangles, so they will have to be decomposed.

For the second issue, one could decompose the polygon into surface and boundary. The lines would be clipped against the surfaces only, and the surfaces against the surfaces too. Then one could draw the surfaces first without any line style around the triangles, and in the end the boundaries. When performing clipping, there will be no way around decomposing the polygons into something?
