Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice in C

Description The most comprehensive,authoritative, and up-to-date book on computer graphics nowpresents examples in the C programming language. As before, theauthors provide a unique combination of current concepts andpractical applications. Important algorithms in 2D and 3D graphicsare detailed for easy implementation.
