- Is there an efficient way to draw a wire frame, but
- remove lines that would be hidden behind the solid portions
- of the structure in front of the others? I know I can use the z-buffer
- and shade with the background color, but this still requires all
- panels to be drawn anyway. Preferably it should be a faster draw than
- drawing the panels. There was supposed to be an article on this in a magazine
- at one point in time. A pointer to this would be nice as well.
