Answers to Computer Graphics Questions

Question 1 (Compulsory)

1. Overview of Graphics Systems: Graphics systems are frameworks consisting of hardware and

software designed to render visual content, including raster and vector systems, graphics APIs, and

display devices.

2. Output Primitives: Basic geometric entities such as points, lines, circles, and polygons used as

building blocks in graphics.

3. Coordinate Transformations: Operations like translation, rotation, and scaling to alter object

positions in space.

4. Reflection Transformation: A 2-D transformation to produce mirror images of objects across a

specified axis.

5. Emissive Devices: Devices like LEDs or plasma screens that emit light for display purposes.

6. Persistence in CRT: The duration a phosphor glows after being excited by an electron beam,

measured in milliseconds.

7. Uniform B-spline Curve: A smooth curve defined mathematically by control points and basis

functions for graphical modeling.

8. Scaling Transformation in 3-D: A transformation to resize objects in 3D space along X, Y, and Z

axes.

Unit-I

1. Video Display Devices: Hardware such as CRTs, LCDs, and LEDs used to display visual content.

2. Raster vs. Random Scan Systems: Raster scans refresh pixel rows sequentially, while random

scans draw images directly using geometric instructions.

Unit-II

1. Mid-point Circle Algorithm: An efficient algorithm for drawing circles by calculating points along a

circle's perimeter.

2. Scan Line Polygon Fill Algorithm: A method to fill polygons by scanning and filling pixels row by

row.

Unit-III

1. 2D Transformations: Transformations like translation, rotation, and scaling represented using

homogeneous matrices for uniform manipulation.

2. Cyrus-Beck Line Clipping Algorithm: A parametric line clipping algorithm offering precision for

convex polygon clipping, advantageous over Cohen-Sutherland for its generality.

Unit-IV

1. Hermite Curve: A parametric curve defined by endpoints and tangents, used in animation and

modeling.

2. Bezier and B-Spline Surfaces: Bezier surfaces use control points for smooth curves, while

B-splines offer flexibility with local control.

3. Polygon Rendering Methods: Techniques like Gouraud shading, Phong shading, and flat shading

to render polygons with varying visual effects.

4. 3D Transformations: Translation, shearing, and rotation change an object's position, shape, or

orientation in 3D space.

5. Viewing Pipeline: The sequence of operations for projecting 3D scenes onto 2D screens,

including modeling, viewing, and perspective transformations.
