| A geometric refinement or refinement is a data structure within the rendering library that defines how accurately nonpolygonal geometric primitives are represented when rendered. A refinement contains a number of criteria that govern the decomposition of the primitives into a faceted form and how many generators should be drawn in wire-frame mode. See also refinement. | |||||
