The kernel of our approach is a line selection method that considers both the geometry property of lines and the view-dependent line density in the image space. The latter is measured as a combination of a local entropy and a global entropy subject to the information theory. The view-dependent line drawing is fulfilled by leveraging two entropies, facilitating the preservation of details in important regions. We demonstrate our new approach with a variety of examples and provide comparisons with recent approaches. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{R30 R60} \itemut{line drawing; view-dependent; information entropy} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-29050-3\_14} \end
