Organizing Principles
Classification
- Organizes data according to its EDCS Classification.
Level Of Detail
- Organizes different representations of the same underlying data that differ in level of detail.
- Each branch contains one of the octants
Continuous Level Of Detail
- Is specific to primitive geometric representations, such as polygonal representations
- Provides a mechanism for specifying an arbitrary number of levels of finer and finer detail
- Allows the consumer to decide under what conditions the end application should switch from a coarse representation to a more detailed one, or vice versa.
