Ebook Interactive computer graphics (5th edition): Part 1

Interactive computer graphics: A Top-Down approach with shader-Based OpenGL®, is the only introduction to computer graphics text for undergraduates that fully integrates OpenGL and emphasizes application-based programming. Using C and C++, the top-down, programming-oriented approach allows for coverage of engaging 3D material early in the text so readers immediately begin to create their own 3D graphics. Low-level algorithms (for topics such as line drawing and filling polygons) are presented after readers learn to create graphics. | Interactive Graphics Computer A Top-Down Approach FIFTH Using EDITION OpenGL\302\256 To Rose Mary CONTENTS x xv Preface A pp l i c a t i o n s of D is D Si m u la t io n / P ix e ls and the Frame 7 O u t p u t Devices I n p u t Devices 10 U p la y of e s ig A 2 n3 3 and Animation 5 Interfaces ser Computer Graphics Information System Graphics 5 Buffer I m a g e s : Physical Ob j e c t s and Viewers L ig Im a g e Formation Im Th e Pinhole Camera Th e Th e Human Visual System Th e Th e .3 T h r e e -D i m e n s io n a lAPIs Th e Gr a p h i c s Architectures D is la y Th e Graphics 10 a g i n g Systems ht and Synthetic 11 12 and Images 14 Models 16 16 of 21 Interface Programmer's ASequence 19 Model Synthetic-Camera Pen-Plotter 18 23 24 Model 27 Images Paradigm Modeling-Rendering 28 29 Processors 30 p Pip e l i n e Architectures 30 V e r t ex 31 Pipeline Processing 32 vu viii C o n t e nts Cl i p p i n g Ra st e r iz a t io n3 F Pr o g r a m P and Primitive 33 r a g m e n t Processing m a b le e rfo r m a n c e 33 34 Pipelines Characteristics 35 Notes and Summary 32 Assembly 3 Suggested Readings 36 36 Exercises Th e P C o o r d i n a te T G ra p h ic s Functions T Th e Pr i m i t iv e s and P o ly g o n Basics P o ly g o n Types A p p g ra m h e Two-Dimensional m ing O pen 39 Gasket Sierpinski ro Systems G LA P I 48 Machines 5 0 Attributes 52 in OpenGL ro x i m a t i n g Tex t5 aSphere 53 55 6 Cu r v e d Objects A t t r i b u t e s5 8 C o lo r RGB Color In d 58 60 ex ed 62 63 Color Se t t i n g .
