Description:
An introduction to the fundamentals underlying the design of computer graphics software that is platform independent. Takes an algorithmic approach to the study of graphic operations required to create a complex scene and mixes it with a study of the properties of hardware elements used in generating a graphic. The modeling and transformation process is stressed. Topics include 2-D graphic elements and transformations; viewing and clipping; hierarchical modeling; 3-D concepts and objects; solid geometry; 3-D transformations and the viewing pipeline; visible surface detection; and lighting models.
