James D. Foley Boeken

The long-awaited second edition of this book has been completely rewritten to provide the most comprehensive authoritative and up-to-date coverage of the field---making it the standard computer graphics reference work for the 1990s. The authors provide a unique combination of current concepts and practical applications. The important algorithms in 2D and 3D graphics are detailed for easy implementation.

This book presents graphics concepts and recent advances in graphics hardware and software. A complete graphics application program is developed in Pascal, based on both the ACM SIGGRAPH Core System of graphics subroutines and the newly adopted GKS international 2D standard.

This adaptation of the definitive Foley guide provides a more concise introduction to computer graphics. Explanations of key concepts have been expanded and further illustrated assuming less background knowledge on the part of the reader.
