Technique
The location and shape to cut the outside object depends on many different factors, for example:
- the sizes and shapes of the inside and outside objects,
- the semantics of the objects,
- personal taste, etc.
These factors, according to Diepstraten et al. (2003), "can seldom be formalized in a simple algorithm, But the properties of cutaway can be distinguish in two classes of cutaways of a drawing":
- cutout : illustrations were the cutaway is retricted to very simple and regularly shaped of often only a small number of planar slices into the outside object.
- breakaway : a cutaway realized by a single hole in the outside object.

Famous quotes containing the word technique:
“Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn’t worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“The mere mechanical technique of acting can be taught, but the spirit that is to give life to lifeless forms must be born in a man. No dramatic college can teach its pupils to think or to feel. It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“In love as in art, good technique helps.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
