(...) complete half disc: It would obviously be better to use a half disc in the first place. What John meant above was, if I understood him correctly, a disc with a diameter larger than the quad's height. That way, the problem is non-trivial, and (...)

(...) Maybe he meant something like: (URL) or (URL) And as you can see, not more polygons, but actually less. as a rule of tumb, "less points implies less polys". NOTE: both examples could be even more simplified (less points) if we removed the disc (...) (25 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Hmm. There's a couple of problems with your examples. In overdraw2.png, you are having the quad intersect the circle exactly at two vertices. If the quad was a bit narrower, you would need to split the two original triangles, retaining the (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
