00900 OCCULT marks the faces, edges and vertices of GEOMED
01000 polyhedrons as either visible or hidden. Edges that were at first
01100 partially visible are split into pieces so that each piece is either
01200 fully visible or fully hidden. OCCULT is based on the generally
01300 discredited idea of comparing each edge with all the other edges and
01400 hiding as much as possible when a pair of edges that cross are
01500 discovered.
