Aims
Basic attribute of ECTS:
To provide overview of basics principles of plane(2D) space (3D) computer graphics. To acquaint with the vector based objects displaying algorithms and methods in 2D and 3D scenes, namely: 2D objects rasterisation and trimming, 2D closed areas filling, objects transformations, 3D objects visibility solution, lighting, shading and texturing. To acquaint with the basic principles of the main graphical interfaces, namely Win32 API and OpenGL. To overrule the implementation and using of the interfaces in real graphical applications.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
