3-Dimensional graphics data display device
First Claim
1. An apparatus for displaying three-dimensional graphics data comprising:
- (a) a three-dimensional graphics data retaining means for retaining three-dimensional graphics data;
(b) a state storing means for storing plural sets of display parameters, to be used in displaying said three-dimensional graphics data as a two-dimensional display;
(c) a view switching means for a user to select one set of display parameters from said plurality of sets of display parameters;
(d) a display parameter retaining means for retaining said set of display parameters selected by the user; and
(e) a rendering processing means for performing rendering processing based on the three dimensional graphics data retained by said three-dimensional graphics data retaining means and the set of display parameters retained by said display parameter retaining means, to output two-dimensional data.

Abstract
The objective of the invention is to provide a three-dimensional data display apparatus that easily saves an entire or a portion of the display state of the graphics, so that the data can be selected and restored according to the instructions of the user.
This system comprises a three-dimensional graphics data retaining means 3 that retains three-dimensional graphics data 2; a three-dimensional display parameter retaining means 5 that retains a set of display parameters 4 for displaying the aforementioned three-dimensional graphics data 2; a rendering processing means 7 that performs a rendering processing based on the aforementioned three-dimensional graphics data 2 and the set of display parameters 4 to output two-dimensional image data 6 for displaying on the screen; a state storing means 8 for storing a copy 4′ of the set of display parameters 4 retained in the display parameter retaining means 5 and a copy 6′ of the two-dimensional image data 6 output from the rendering processing means 7; and a view switching means 9 that sets the set 4′ of the three-dimensional display parameters saved in the state storing means 8 in the display parameter retaining means 5 and that performs a re-rendering processing at the rendering processing means 7 using the set 4′ of display parameters, based on a display switch command from the user.
