<I had been thinking of this myself as well, the other advantage to
triangles that they are always triangles no matter how they're
rotated in 3 space (except on edge, where they become lines), as
opposed to squares, which become trapesoids. This means that you can
build a triangle engine which would work in all situations.>
A triangle can gain up to 3 edges when it is clipped to the screen.
Although if you are clipping during scan conversion you don't have to
worry about it.
