Model Traversal
The application program first must traverse the model to position all scaled and rotated objects components in the root, i.e., world, coordinate system, and to apply appearance attributes.
In a top-down, left-to-right tree traversal the components of a model are executed (drawn on the screen) in order from the root to the leaves of the tree.
