Abstract
Method and system are provided for specifying view dependent ordering of geometry that occupies co-incident surfaces. A co-incident surface has a first side and a second side. The co-incident surface is capable of being viewed on either side. A first order of the geometry layers is defined as viewed on the first side of the co-incident surface. In response to a specified view, a rendering order of the geometry layers is determined from the first order. The rendering order specifies an actual rendering sequence of the geometry layers.
