Computer Graphics by Seoul National University
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.

The following textbook by Arignar Anna Government Arts and Science College gives an overview of computer graphics systems in some detail. It begins with the overall architecture of computer graphics systems in order to place into context how such graphical applications are built and executed. Output primitives discussed in this book are the basic elements used in constructing an image. Also, there is a discussion about 2D geometric transformations for manipulating twodimensional objects. It contains parts on the graphical user interface and the methods of interactive input that are very important when one is designing graphics applications that should be friendly to users. Geometric and modeling transformations concerning 3D graphics are dealt with in the book at the description of how to create and modify threedimensional objects. Hence, the resource is helpful in studying both the basic issues of computer graphics systems and its applications.
