Chris,
I agree. I didn't really mean "squares", I meant rectangles. You could build
up 3D objects with both of them cleverly used, but not just rectangles alone,
that's true. I was suggesting that you could have different optimizations for
each, so it may be faster to call "DrawTriangle" 4 times followed by "Draw
Rectangle" 5 times instead of "DrawPolygon" 9 times. I dunno. I suppose that if
3 of the "DrawTriangle" calls are being used to draw one pentagon, then a
single call to "DrawPoly" might be more efficient. Since I have written none of
the above routines, I really wouldn't know. Still, it's fun to speculate.
Regards,
Fred Trafton
