I've written up an invention disclosure. It involves what can be represented
with a complex stack of CSG primitives. The patent lawyer who's writing up the
docket didn't understand my written description and barely did after I made a
(sloppy) vector drawing. When he saw a first draft of a raytraced representation
of the structure, he said the image *is* going into the docket as it really
explains the structure.
Anyone ever been published in this way? Do patents these days publish bitmaps
in the final publication?

US patents are required to have at least one diagram. I've never seen a
patent without numerous labeled diagrams to allow reference to the pieces of
the invention. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you're asking.
Certainly things involving construction and such (say, desks for special
purposes, support racks, etc) have pictures of what they're constructing.

Vector or bitmap (as in povray output)?
I've done a few vector line computer drawings that went straight into patents. I
have some of my father's old patents that were likely line drawings by a
draftsman. This is the first time I've ever seen someone consider a PNG image.
But then again, I haven't got this far in a patent in ten years.

Usually vector, but I don't think that's required. I've seen explanatory
images and such (pictures of the product, for example) presented.

Ok, I'm ready for the punchline now! Lol

Claiming the totality of things that can be represented with complex stack of
CSG primitives would be some feat. I meant to say this particular idea can be
represented (as opposed to something illustratable by a flow chart).
