Not directly; geomview uses Z-buffering, which lets the graphics system
decide for each pixel whether it's closer than any other graphical item,
and doesn't explicitly record which vertices are visible.

However, you could use geomview's "pick" facility.  You'd interactively
click on the points you can see, and geomview can provide their coordinates.
This might be tolerable if you don't have too many of them.
You'd feed geomview a command like:
	(interest (pick world))   or   (interest (pick primitive))
(where the keyword following "pick" indicates the coordinate system in which
you'd like the data to be returned).  Geomview would emit pick results
whenever you clicked the rightmost mouse button.  There are examples of
interpreting this in the manual.  If you say more about the context you'd
like to use this in, I could explain further.
