PfPortals
Note: The pfPortals library is no longer actively maintained because
I no longer use OpenGL Performer;
furthermore I believe Performer
now contains sophisticated portal-culling mechanisms of its own. These pages are left
up for historical interest and because the underlying code provides a very
simple example of how to implement recursive cull box-based portal culling.

calculations may want to visit Xavier Decoret's
