CS 321 - Computer Graphics3 lecture hours 3 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. (prereq: CS 3841 or SE 2040 )
