Abstract
This dissertation describes the principles of pen-and-ink illustration, and shows how a great number of them can be implemented as part of an automated rendering system. Illustration techniques in general, and pen-and-ink rendering in particular, offer great potential for creating effective images from CAD models. And with the computer's ability to manipulate increasingly large models, communicating complex information in an effective and comprehensible manner is becoming an important problem. However, this potential remains relatively untapped in the field of computer graphics. After discussing principles of traditional pen-and-ink rendering, this dissertation shows how the traditional graphics pipeline must be modified to support pen-andink rendering. Then, it introduces the new concept of prioritized stroke textures. Prioritized stroke textures form the central mechanism by which strokes are generated so as to both convey a certain texture, such as "bricks", and achieve a target tone simultaneously. Prioritized stroke textures also have the advantages of being resolution dependent
