Learn computer graphics fundamentals through this comprehensive course that covers mathematical foundations and visual concepts using C++ implementations. Master essential algorithms including DDA and Bresenham line drawing, mid-point circle and ellipse algorithms, and explore both 2D and 3D transformations such as translation, rotation, scaling, reflection, and shearing. Dive into clipping algorithms like Cohen-Sutherland and Liang-Barsky, understand the differences between raster and vector graphics, and explore color models and CRT display technology. Follow along with code-driven demonstrations, diagrams, and flowcharts that illustrate how images are drawn and transformed on screen. Progress systematically from basic pixel manipulation to complex polygon rendering, with each concept building upon previous knowledge. Gain practical experience through executable C++ examples that demonstrate real-world graphics programming techniques. Perfect for students studying computer graphics, multimedia systems, or visualization techniques who want to understand both the theoretical foundations and practical implementation of graphics algorithms.
