Lecture Note on Computer Graphics
This comprehensive lecture note by Prof. Vijay M. Shekat comprehensively explains the basics that surround the fundamental concepts in computer graphics. The basics of computer graphics, such as the principles and application of graphics primitives, are explained-entities required to display a picture. The note throws light on the 2D transformations and viewing techniques that form an important approach toward manipulating and displaying two-dimensional graphics. The text also covers 3D concepts and object representation, which are important in acquiring knowledge about the complexity of three-dimensional modeling. The discussion covers 3D transformations and viewing, and a deep view is taken in how objects are manipulated and viewed in three-dimensional space. Advanced topics are also covered and may include recent developments and sophisticated techniques of computer graphics, making this note very useful for students and professionals who want to learn both the basics and the advanced aspects of the subject.

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.
