Book SynopsisThe book covers elementary concepts, from how to produce simple graphical objects using logical coordinates to producing filled regions. The book reinforces concepts with useful and simple examples, then progresses to applied geometry (vectors, polygons) and then onto how to perform rotations and other transformations of graphical objects. In a logical progression of ideas, the reader is introduced to some of the classic graphics algorithms and finally to chapters which cover particular effects such as perspective drawings and hidden-face and hidden-line elimination. The book also provides a host of ready-to-run programs and worked examples to illuminate general principles and geometric techniques for the creation of both 2D and 3D graphical objects.Table of ContentsPreface ix C H A P T E R 1 – Elementary Concepts 1 1.1 Lines, Coordinates and Pixels 2 1.2 The Boundaries of Filled Regions 7 1.3 Logical Coordinates 8 1.4 Anisotropic and Isotropic Mapping Modes 14 1.5 Defining a Polygon by Using the Mouse 21 Exercises 26 C H A P T E R 2 – Applied Geometry 31 2.1 Vectors 32 2.2 Inner Product 34 2.3 Determinants 34 2.4 Vector Product 37 2.5 The Orientation of Three Points 38 2.6 Polygons 41 2.7 The Area of a Polygon 42 2.8 Point-in-Triangle Test 44 2.9 Point-in-Polygon Test 45 2.10 Point-on-Line Test 47 2.11 Distance Between a Point and a Line 50 2.12 Projection of a Point on a Line 51 2.13 Triangulation of Polygons 53 Exercises 58 C H A P T E R 3 – Geometrical Transformations 63 3.1 Matrix Multiplication 64 3.2 Linear Transformations 65 3.3 Translations 71 3.4 Homogeneous Coordinates 71 3.5 Inverse Transformations and Matrix Inversion 72 3.6 Rotation About an Arbitrary Point 74 3.7 Changing the Coordinate System 78 3.8 Rotations About 3D Coordinate Axes 79 3.9 Rotation About an Arbitrary Axis 80 Exercises 88 C H A P T E R 4 – Some Classic Algorithms 91 4.1 Bresenham’s Algorithm for Line Drawing 92 4.2 Doubling the Line-Drawing Speed 97 4.3 Circles 102 4.4 Cohen–Sutherland Line Clipping 107 4.5 Sutherland–Hodgman Polygon Clipping 113 4.6 B´ezier Curves 120 4.7 B-Spline Curve Fitting 130 Exercises 135 C H A P T E R 5 – Perspective 139 5.1 Introduction 140 5.2 The Viewing Transformation 141 5.3 The Perspective Transformation 146 5.4 A Cube in Perspective 148 5.5 Some Useful Classes 152 5.6 A General Program for Wire-Frame Models 168 Exercises 174 C H A P T E R 6 – Hidden-Line Elimination 177 6.1 Line Segments and Triangles 178 6.2 Tests for Visibility 179 6.3 Specification and Representation of 3D Objects 190 6.4 Holes and Invisible Line Segments 192 6.5 Individual Faces and Line Segments 194 6.6 Automatic Generation of Object Specification 198 6.7 Hidden-Line Elimination with HP-GL Output 207 6.8 Implementation 209 Exercises 213 C H A P T E R 7 – Hidden-Face Elimination 219 7.1 Back-Face Culling 220 7.2 Coloring Individual Faces 225 7.3 Painter’s Algorithm 226 7.4 Z-Buffer Algorithm 234 Exercises 246 C H A P T E R 8 – Fractals 249 8.1 Introduction 249 8.2 Koch Curves 250 8.3 String Grammars 253 8.4 Mandelbrot and Julia Sets 264 Exercises 276 A P P E N D I X A – Linear Interpolation of 1/z 277 AP P ENDIX B – A Note on Event Handling 281 A P P E N D I X C – File Obj3D.java 287 A P P E N D I X D – Class CvHLines.java 293 A P P E N D I X E – Some Applications 301 E.1 Platonic Solids 301 E.2 Sphere Representations 312 E.3 A Torus 319 E.4 Beams in a Spiral 323 E.5 Functions of Two Variables 326 A P P E N D I X F – Hints and Solutions to Exercises 339 Bibliography 371 Index 373

Book SynopsisPROGRAMMING WITH OBJECTS Your essential comparative approach to learning C++ and Java Programming with Objects: A Comparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and Java, a comparative presentation of object-oriented programming with two of the most popular programming languages of today, teaches vital skills and techniques for the Internet age. Based on highly successful courses taught by the author, this book answers the need for a comprehensive educational program on the subject of object-oriented programming. In a clear and accessible format, the author compares and contrasts both languages, from basic language constructs to how both languages are used in application-level programming, such as graphics programming, network programming, and database programming. Since both C++ and Java were born out of the same language, C, learning these two languages together has several distinct advantages: Because they have much in common aTrade Review"...a wonderful volume...a very worthwhile read...essential..."

Book SynopsisThis book is an introduction to the rudiments of Perl programming. It provides the general reader with an interest in language with the most usable and relevant aspects of Perl for writing programs that deal with language. Exposes the general reader with an interest in language to the most usable and relevant aspects of Perl for writing programs that deal with language. Contains simple examples and exercises that gradually introduce the reader to the essentials of good programming. Assumes no prior programming experience. Accompanied by exercises at the end of each chapter and offers all the code on the companion website: http://www.u.arizona.edu/~hammond Trade Review''Learning to program isn't really hard,' the author claims. Teaching good programming to linguists, however, or to arts and humanities students in general, isn’t really that easy a job either, in practice. This introductory book, clear and concise as it is, should be a helpful tool at the very first stages of such an enterprise." Kwee Tjoe Liong, Universiteit van Amsterdam "The really strong points of the book are the examples and exercises. These are almost all language-related and include useful, interesting and relevant questions and situations that the reader interested in language research will appreciate." New Zealand Studies in Applied Linguistics "Surprisingly readable...should be on the bookshelf of any discourse analysist even thinking about tinkering with using computers to automate some portion of their data analysis...the examples and exercises are excellent, as is [Hammond's] exegesis of the examples- slow without becoming tedious."
