There are two primary technical requisites that favor the use of the painter’spainter's algorithm.

=== Basic graphical structure ===

The painter's algorithm is not as complex in structure as its other depth sorting algorithm counterparts.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Warnock|first=John E.|date=1969-06-01|title=A Hidden Surface Algorithm for Computer Generated Halftone Pictures|url=https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/AD0753671|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108193625/https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/AD0753671|url-status=live|archive-date=November 8, 2020|language=en}}</ref> Components such as the depth-based rendering order, as employed by the painter’spainter's algorithm, are one of the simplest ways to designate the order of graphical production.<ref name=":2" /> This simplicity makes it useful in basic computer graphics output scenarios where an unsophisticated render will need to be made with little struggle.<ref name=":1" />
