Hi again,

I tried to mess a  bit with point a) above, so I changed line colours, widths, cube positions (including overlapping) and played a bit around.
It seems to me that some algorithm of visible surface determination is already working in the background, as all the lines get displayed properly regardless of how I place these objects and move and turn the camera.
I suppose it is somehow implemented i.e. in the camera/universe/geometry, but not sure how it is actually done.
I wonder if this can be switched off somehow, so that I could write my own method for sorting these lines, i.e. using painter's algorithm and see how that works?

Kind regards, Mr. B
