Computer Graphics with OpenGL is a complete reference for undergraduates and professional computer science engineers. The book has been prepared with a graduate-level one-semester course in mind, covering the basics of the subject and explaining two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics in an integrated approach. It also covers geometric transformations, hierarchical modelling, splines, global illumination, shaders and algorithmic modelling among other topics. It is an indispensable resource for all professionals and undergraduates working with OpenGL. About the Authors Donald D. Hearn is a faculty member of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
