In case the author reads this:
>The stroke boundary algorithm could be extended to 3D by generating a ring (instead of a pair) of stroke boundary points at each sample point. I do not know of compelling uses for such a 3D element.
That would actually be an excellent way to describe a V-carving toolpath for a CNC router.

And now that I think about it --- didn't one of Wacom's Kai/Photoshop plug-ins work in this was to allow incising into a virtual surface?

Parent's point is that there are in fact seven animated visualizations in this very article.

Ah, they’re hidden inside the “algorithm” boxes (and also don’t display properly in dark mode). What an unintuitive place to put them – I’d expect an algorithm box to only contain pseudocode, with the output being in a different box.

why would you expect "(with visualization)" boxes to only contain pseudocode?
