This course emphasizes a hands-on approach to the use of computer graphics. The topics covered include models, picture description, and interaction; c windowing, clipping, panning, and zooming; geometrical transformations in 2D and 3D; algorithms for raster displays (scan-line conversion, polygon fill, polygon clipping, etc.); hidden line and hidden surface removal, shading models; user interaction. The students will implement a substantial graphics application program.
