Computer Graphics C Version

by Donald Hearn

Description Reflecting the rapidexpansion of the use of computer graphics and of C as a programminglanguage of choice for implementation, this new version of thebest-selling Hearn and Baker text converts all programming codeinto the C language. Assuming the reader has no prior familiaritywith computer graphics, the authors present basic principles fordesign, use, and understanding of computer graphics systems. Theauthors are widely considered authorities in computer graphics, andare known for their accessible writing style.
