Schaum's Outline of Computer Graphics (Schaum's Outline)

A solved-problem book using an algorithmic approach to digitizing images for computer generation. It covers all necessary programming and vector, matrix, and character graphics generation, clipping functions, and more. Program structures are presented in a language and machine independent form through the use of 'Hierarchy Plus Input-Process Output' (HIPO) charts, and technique for modularizing a program which is useable on any system.
