Algorithms for the interactive visualization of terrains are very complex and, at the same time, of great importance to many applications, such as games and activity-planning over terrains. Due to such complexity and importance, in the past decade this subject has received great attention by researchers on Computer Graphics. As a consequence, a number of strategies have been developed. Among the most successful strategies, one can highlight recent works by Lindstrom and Pascucci. The algorithm proposed by these authors has various implementations available in the Internet and deserves to be reevaluated. The present work makes such reevaluation by means of an independent implementation developed by the author and tested over a base or real terrains. With the purpose of making this analysis more complete and to support some conclusions, comparative results with other algorithms in the area are also presented.
