Three-dimensional graphic apparatus simplifying neighboring arrangement
First Claim
1. A three-dimensional graphic apparatus for generating a three-dimensional image by means of computer graphics, comprising:
- a moving object indication means for indicating one of matters in a three-dimensional image as an object matter;
a search direction indication means for indicating a search direction of a base polygon, which is a polygon constituting of a base matter coming into contact with said object matter, from a notice point of a line of sight;
a base polygon search means that selects a polygon closest to said notice point as said base polygon from among polygons locating on a straight line extended from said notice point in said search direction;
an object polygon selection means for selecting an object polygon, which is a polygon to be brought into contact, from among polygons constituting said object matter;
a neighboring means for rotating said object matter so that said object polygon will be parallel to said base polygon and for moving said object matter so that said object polygon and said base polygon will lie on the same plane.

Abstract
A three-dimensional graphic apparatus generates a three-dimensional image using computer graphics, in which the positional relationship between matters, such as furniture in a three-dimensional image, can be changed readily and accurately. A moving object indication unit indicates one of the matters in the three-dimensional image as an object matter. A search direction indication unit indicates a search direction of a base polygon constituting a base matter coming into contact with the object matter, from a notice point of a line of sight. A base polygon search unit selects, from among polygons located on a straight line extending from the notice point in the search direction, a polygon closest to the notice point as the base polygon. An object polygon selection unit selects an object polygon, which is a polygon to be brought into contact, from among polygons constituting the object matter. A neighboring unit rotates the object matter so that the object polygon will be parallel to the base polygon and moves the object matter so that the object polygon will be parallel to the base polygon and moves the object matter so that the object polygon and the base polygon lie on the same plane.
