About this book

Following the author's successful Practical Introduction to Computer Graphics, this new comprehensive textbook of computer graphics exploits the full range of techniques and effects that recent advances in computer hardware technology now make possible. Soundly organised as a teaching text, the book is intended for undergraduate courses, and takes the reader with a limited background in computing and mathematics to a state-of-the-art level in computer graphics. FORTRAN 77 and Pascal editions of this text are also available. '...with the assumption that the reader has an elementary knowledge of C, and of the principles of Cartesian co-ordinate geometry, this book will make an ideal basis for a three-term undergraduate course in computer graphics.' Toby Howard, Times Higher Education Supplement
