CS 3210 - Computer Graphics

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course introduces computer graphics with implementation in C++ on the Linux platform, reinforcing the object-oriented programming concepts of inheritance and polymorphism. Algorithms, data structures, graphics primitives, and graphics standards are discussed in addition to hardware aspects of computer graphics. Topics such as 2-D and 3-D transformations, graphics libraries, and clipping algorithms are presented. Laboratory exercises provide opportunities for students to develop graphics algorithms and interactive applications. Students may not receive credit for both CS 3210 and CS 2040 . (prereq: CE 2812 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Give examples of and discuss computer graphics hardware
