This
text by Mandeep Kaur, from Lovely Professional University, is an overall guide
to computer graphics. The book starts with basic computer graphics so that the
ground can be well-laid for complex topics. The colors of computer graphics and
graphics input/output devices, crucial in the generation and interaction of
digital images, are discussed herein. It includes scan conversion-the methods
lying at the heart of drawing lines and shapes on the screen. The manual focuses
on 2D transformations, viewing-important components in handling and displaying
two-dimensional graphics. At the same time, the book provides the basics
necessary to understand three-dimensional graphics modeling, clipping, and
hidden surfaces, incorporating some more advanced graphical techniques in the
process. It also covers color and shading models, advanced topics in computer
graphics, animation, among others; therefore, the book can be useful for both
basic and advanced learners.

The
book of Bindiya Patel from Biyani College Jaipur provides a more organized
way of approaching the concept of computer graphics. The notes start with
discussing graphics applications and raster graphics, hence laying a foundation
of how images are created and manipulated on digital systems. Key topics that
will be discussed include transformations-essential processes to change
graphical objects-and output primitives-the basic elements used in drawing. Some
of the notes also cover clipping algorithms, which are very important in showing
only visible parts of the graphics. It explains the different methods for
visible surface detection, answering how a particular surface in a scene would
be visible or invisible. It also describes curves and surfaces-important in the
case of higher degree shapes-and briefly describes image processing to integrate
computer graphics with other visual technologies.
In this respect, the lecture notes provided by Malla Reddy College of Engineering
provide a big picture of some respects related to computer graphics. The
application areas of computer graphics are discussed here that show how graphics
are used in several industries and technologies. Some basic output primitives,
which are considered elementary to elementary rendering, are explained in the
notes, such as points and lines. These involve 2D geometrical transformations
and 2D viewing techniques, which are very important in manipulating
two-dimensional objects. The notes also explain the representation of 3D objects
and transformations, important in the creation and transformation of
three-dimensional models. Methods of visible surface detection are discussed to
show the way in which a determination of parts of a scene visible can be made.
The inclusion of topics on computer animation completes this coverage, giving an
understanding of how graphics can be animated for dynamic visual effects.

The
set of lecture notes provides an overview of some important topics related to
computer graphics. It starts with the application of computer graphics,
extending to various areas where graphical techniques are indispensable. The
lecture notes discuss the basic algorithms for drawing lines like Bresenham's
algorithm and go further to give details on two-dimensional transformation, such
as scaling, rotation, and translation. Concepts about 2D viewing and
representation of 3D objects with their transformation have been discussed. This
is done by explaining methods for visible-surface detection. Finally, an
understanding of some general concepts of the way dynamic visual content is
produced and manipulated in computer animation is provided.
This
note is concentrated on computer graphics, integrated with multimedia,
applications, and systems. It covers basic graphics system architecture and the
output primitives that are commonly used to display images. Also, it explains
the basic two-dimensional geometric transformations and viewing techniques,
three-dimensional object representation, and transformation. The illumination
model and methods of rendering surfaces will also be discussed to highlight how
the properties of light and material result in visual appearance. It also covers
topics relevant to the multimedia components-digital audio and digital
images-since working with graphics now increasingly involves their integration
in a combined fashion for multimedia presentation.

Notes
from Seoul National University, this set provides an excellent introduction to
some of the more theoretical and practical aspects of computer graphics. It
covers the more basic areas of scan conversion and clipping - both important
areas in rendering and image processing. Detailed discussions on Windows
programming, sampling techniques, 2D and 3D geometric transformations, and
viewing methods are included. The curriculum also covers DirectX for device
creation and vertex rendering, hidden surface removal, and matrix usage. It
considers texture mapping and lighting, curve, and surface modeling. The
material gains a good understanding of both fixed and programmable pipelines and
thus would be useful to students and professionals interested in practical
implementation related to computer graphics technologies.
