Computer Graphics

This document summarizes key topics from a lecture on computer graphics, including cross products, planes, spheres, and transformations. Cross products produce a vector orthogonal to two input vectors using the right hand rule. Planes can be defined by linear combinations of points. Spheres are 3D shapes. Transformations like scaling and rotation are achieved through matrix multiplication. Scaling uniformly or non-uniformly changes the size of graphic components. Rotation in 2D uses trigonometric functions and matrices.

• Cross Product
• Plane
• Sphere
• Transformations
Cross Product

• The product of two vectors (a and b) is


another vector which is orthogonal to both
the vectors (a and b).
– The new vector is called Cross Product or Vector
Product of the two vectors.
– Right hand rule determines the direction of the
product.

Scaling

• Scaling is achieved by multiplying each


graphic component by a scalar
• Scaling will be uniform if this scalar is same
for all components
• Different components are scaled differently,
scaling in uniform
Example

`
Scaling Operation

•  

The matrix is called scaling matrix
