ITC363 Computer Graphics (8)
Abstract|
In this subject students learn how to write interactive computer graphics programs using a standard graphics library. An understanding of the graphics system architecture provides a sound basis for application program design. Students study how to model objects in 2D and 3D, and how to transform and project them for viewing. Algorithms for clipping, rasterisation, hidden-surface removal and antialiasing are covered. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to interpret and assess the features and operations of a graphics system;
- be able to write well-designed interactive graphics programs, using a standard graphics library, which may include 2D objects, 3D objects, basic animation and arbitrary projection points;
- be able to describe, implement and analyse data structures and algorithms for modelling objects in 2D and 3D;
- be able to describe, implement and analyse data structures and algorithms for transforming and projecting objects for viewing in 2D and 3D;
- be able to describe, explain and analyse algorithms for common graphics system processing operations.
