Instructions: Answer All The Questions in This Paper

The document contains questions about computer graphics concepts for an exam. It asks about transformation matrices in OpenGL, the matrix stack and purposes of matrix operations like glLoadIdentity(), glMultMatrix(), and glPushMatrix(). Questions also cover the effects of glTranslatef() and glScalef() transformations and calculating screen resolution from pixel dimensions. Other concepts addressed include the difference between clipping area and viewport, definitions of fluorescence, screen resolution and color resolution, types of projections, and functions of color, stencil and depth buffers.
