This page documents what we do in class. It contains C programs that we will discuss in class, reading assignments from our textbook, simple homework exercises that you can work on for practice and exam preparation (not for credit), links to other sources of information, etc.
The reading assignments and practice problems are listed by the date on which they were assigned. The sample program files are listed by the date on which they were used. When you are viewing a source code page, you can use your browser's "File -> Save As..." menu item to save a copy of the code on your computer. It is a good idea for you to "play" with these example programs; compile them, run them, make simple changes to them and compile and run them again.

- So far, we have done mostly two dimensional graphics. To do three dimensional graphics we need to define a "view volume" in three dimensional space (analogous to the two dimensional "world window"). There are two kinds of view volumes, "orthographic projection" and "perspective projection". These are described in the textbook in the following sections.
- Section 2.2 (pages 25-32).
- Section 2.8.2 (pages 51-56).
- Section 3.10 (pages 83-86).
