Abstract:
A comprehensive book on computer graphics, with examples in the C programming language. Providing a combination of concepts and practical applications, this book contains algorithms in 2D and 3D graphics for easy implementation, including a close look at the special cases. Over 100 full-color plates and over 700 figures illustrate the techniques.
