Computer Graphics by Mandeep Kaur
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.

Concept based notes Computer Graphics by Bindiya Patel
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.

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 two-dimensional 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 three-dimensional objects. Hence, the resource is helpful in studying both the basic issues of computer graphics systems and its applications.

Computer Graphics And Multimedia
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.

Computer Graphics Lecture Notes by Clinton L. Jeffery
The following are the notes from Clinton L. Jeffery on aspects in both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer graphics. An introduction to hardware in graphics and frame buffers is given first, followed by the description of line drawing techniques and the parameters for API. Next come color indices, colormaps, and raster operations-forming the very basics necessary to understand color and graphics management. These notes also extend to the UI graphics primitives, region filling, and advanced concepts such as the Golden Rectangle. There is great emphasis on OpenGL, GLU, and GLUT, which really establishes modern graphics programming. Other topics involve the Phong shading model, texture mapping, and 3D model file formats that make these notes comprehensive toward understanding the principles underlying many practical applications in computer graphics.

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.
