+Freestyle, a procedural line drawing system
+http://freestyle.sourceforge.net
+
+INTRODUCTION
+------------
+Freestyle is a software for Non-Photorealistic Line Drawing rendering
+from 3D scenes. It is designed as a programmable interface to allow
+maximum control over the style of the final drawing: the user
+"programs" how the silhouettes and other feature lines from the 3D
+model should be turned into stylized strokes using a set of
+programmable operators dedicated to style description. This
+programmable approach, inspired by the shading languages available in
+photorealistic renderers such as Pixar's RenderMan, overcomes the
+limitations of integrated software with access to a limited number of
+parameters and permits the design of an infinite variety of rich and
+complex styles. The system currently focuses on pure line drawing as a
+first step. The style description language is Python augmented with
+our set of operators.  Freestyle was developed in the framework of a
+research project dedicated to the study of stylized line drawing
+rendering from 3D scenes. Details about this research can be found at:
