      In this paper, we present a solution for educational presentation which can integrate images, documents, videos, and especially 3D models in a tree based structure. The solution is based on HTML5 and JavaScript, using SVG ...

    • A Knowledge Base for the Emerging Discipline of Computer Graphics 

      Orr, Genevieve; Alley, Tony; Laxer, Cary; Geigel, Joe; Gold, Susan (The Eurographics Association, 9-7-2007)
      Computer Graphics is evolving as a discipline characterized by the fusion of artistic and technical theories and skills. The goal of the SIGGRAPH Curriculum Working Group has been to create a knowledge base that defines ...

    • A Lab Exercise for 2D Line Clipping 

      Stahl, David (The Eurographics Association, 9-7-2007)
      Line clipping is a fundamental topic in an introductory graphics course. The simplicity and elegance of the classic Cohen-Sutherland 2D Line Clipping Algorithm makes it suitable for implementation by the student in a lab ...

    • A Lab Exercise for Rasterizing Lines 

      Stahl, David (The Eurographics Association, 7-1-2008)
      Rasterizing lines is one of many fundamental topics in an introductory graphics course, with Bresenham's Algorithm particularly well suited for student implementation. By having students complete carefully prepared scaffold ...

    • Labs and Framework for 2D Content Manipulation 

      Paquette, Eric; Barré-Brisebois, Colin; Barras, Jean-François; Bois, Frank Sébastien; Ghaouat, Mohammed El (The Eurographics Association, 18-7-2006)
      Creating and manipulating 2D content is important for computer scientists and requires knowledge in 2D Computer Graphics and Image Processing. A framework and five labs are proposed to help undergraduate students in Computer ...
