Computer Graphics By V.K.Pachghare

Computer Graphics is concerned with graphical representation of text. In the computer world, graphics is the most important part of any application on the computer. During the past 25 years, several books have been brought out on this subject. This book is intented for use in a first level subject on "Computer Graphics" in Computer Engineering. This book is self contained. The text includes various algorithms and programming assignments. It also includes basic multimedia concepts.

The chapters in the book are arranged in a sequence that permits each subject to build up from earlier studies. The algorithms presented in the book allow the reader to focus on the method to solve the problem. The C++ coding is given just to understand the application.

The main features of the book are as follows:

The subject matter has been made more lucid and easier to understand. A large number of new solved examples and questions have been added. All the answers have been checked and verified. All the questions of latest university papers have been added in the body of the text. The suggestions from our colleagues and readers have been incorporated at the proper places. An appreciably heavy demand of the book ensures its utility to the users. Separate exercise (TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE) have been given at the end of each unit.
