This book is the first comprehensive computer graphics textbook to use an active learning style to teach key concepts in the field. With 140 programs and 200 experiments based on these programs, it uses a hands-on, interactive approach that takes students new to computer graphics to an understanding of its foundational principles as well as an ability to code sophisticated applications, including games and movies. The text also includes over 100 worked examples, 600 exercises, and 600 illustrations. Designed to be followed with a computer handy to perform experiments (run code), the book makes the concepts accessible and fun to learn.
