Computer Graphics

The document outlines the 8 units of a Computer Graphics course. Unit I introduces computer graphics systems and input/output devices. Unit II covers basic drawing primitives like points, lines, polygons and their algorithms. Unit III discusses 2D geometric transformations using matrices and homogenous coordinates. Unit IV presents 2D viewing through the viewing pipeline and clipping algorithms. Later units cover 3D graphics topics like object representation, transformations, viewing, rendering, visible surface detection, and computer animation. The course references two main textbooks and additional references.
