About this title

Synopsis

Computer graphics have caught the imagination of computer users. Increasingly powerful and sophisticated graphic techniques are developing with astonishing speed, and the results are seen everywhere - in business systems, in design, in animation, in television and video. The science underlying these developments is often shrouded in a particularly unfriendly language, much of it derived from computer programming and mathematics. Behind the language is, as John Vince shows, "a magical collectin simple ideas". In this book, Professor Vince defines and explains more than 800 terms. All the key concepts, principles and terms of the emerging technology are included. Users of the book will be able at last to understand how graphics computers perform their tasks and what today's developments mean.
