COURSE OBJECTIVES: As a result of taking this course the student shall: 1. Understand how to implement graphics systems from low level device drivers to higher level applications programs. 2. Be able to construct computer graphics using the appropriate mathematics, data structures, algorithms and models. 3. Become acquainted with a current standard graphics programming tool such as GKS, CORE or RGL. 4. Have enhanced his/her abilities in linear algebra, data structures, and program design. COURSE OUTLINE: 1. Overview of graphics hardware and software. 2. Two-dimensional graphics systems--algorithms and data structures for points, lines, curves, clipping, windowing, and transformations. 3. Three-dimensional graphics systems--algorithms and data structures for surfaces, hidden line removal, perspective, and transformations. 4. Solid modeling--algorithms and data structures for solids, hidden surface removal, shading, and color.

5.
