Explain their relevance.
5. What are the different types of 3D transformations? Describe their
significance in object modelling and scene composition.
6. Describe the process for deriving a 3D viewing transformation matrix
step by step.
7. Outline the sequence of transformations needed to convert a 3D scene
into its viewable form.
8. What are the transformation matrices for translation, rotation, and
scaling in 3D graphics? Explain each briefly.
9. A 3D object is scaled by a factor of 1.5 along X, 0.5 along Y, and 2.0
along Z. Write the resulting transformation matrix and explain its effect
on the object.
10.What is the function of a frame buffer in a graphics system? How does
it contribute to the generation of raster images?
11.Differentiate between Plasma Display Panels and LCDs in terms of
technology, power usage, and image quality.

technologies.
13.Provide a comparative overview of Plasma and LCD technologies,
including construction and performance.

Hz, calculate how many pixels are processed per second.
15.What is scan conversion in graphics? How does it relate to
rasterization?
16.Describe the Liang-Barsky algorithm. Demonstrate with a line segment
from (5,2) to (12,6) clipped against a window.

Compare it with Liang-Barsky for complexity and performance.
19.Implement a 3D version of the Cohen-Sutherland clipping algorithm
using region codes. Evaluate its capability in complex environments.
20.A rectangular window spans from (2,2) to (6,6). Clip a square with
vertices at (4,4), (8,4), (8,8), (4,8) using Liang-Barsky and discuss how
this method improves efficiency over other line clipping algorithms in
such scenarios.
21.Given a line from (1, 2) to (9, 5), calculate where it intersects a
clipping region and explain how the algorithm aids rendering.
22.Write a short note on the processes of clipping curves and clipping text
in digital displays.

parallel to one of its edges. How is this handled in the Cohen-
Sutherland algorithm?

polygonal, and surface-based models.
