Features: Adopts a "task-driven" writing approach, introducing case studies and heuristic teaching methods; provides teaching resources such as electronic lesson plans and case materials, offering a comprehensive for textbook integration; meets the needs of applied talent cultivation in higher education institutions. This book thoroughly introduces the fundamental principles, theories, mathematical methods, algorithms, and computer graphics systems of computer graphics. The content includes computer graphics systems, basic algorithms in computer graphics, clipping and transformation, freeform curves and surfaces, geometric modeling, hidden line and surface removal, and realistic graphics rendering. At the end of the book, there are three appendices covering the mathematical foundation of graphical transformations, three sets of simulation tests with reference answers, course experiment guidance, and reference solutions for course experiments. This book can serve as a textbook for computer science and related disciplines in higher education institutions, or as a training and self-study resource for computer graphics. It is also suitable for researchers in computer graphics or related fields. Free PowerPoint electronic lesson plans are provided to instructors and readers, which can be modified as needed.
