Description: Introduces software
engineers familiar with basic graphics programming concepts to the
Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System, a computer-graphics
standard defining an interface between an application program and a
computer-graphics system.
The PHIGS system is a computer graphics
standard defining an interface between an application program and a
computer graphics system. The PHIGS standard has received wide acceptance
throughout the computer graphics industry and PHIGS libraries are
available on most of the high-performance 3-D graphics platforms today,
including IBM, DEC, HP, SUN, Alliant, Stardent, and Silicon Graphics. In
spite of this acceptance, there are no PHIGS texts available to the
average software engineer or graphics students. PHIGS by Example will be
that text. Written with the novice programmer in mind, the book starts
with examples of very basic concepts and, after careful exploration of
these aspects, moves on to more advanced topics. PHIGS by Example teaches
the application programmer how to use the PHIGS standard in his/her own
program. Each section of the book is built around programming examples,
using the strategy that the best way to learn PHIGS is to use PHIGS. The
sections begin with a conceptual discussion of the PHIGS topics presented
in that section and is followed by a detailed explanation of an example
program or subroutine. The sections are concluded with a set of exercises
that are designed to challenge the reader to experiment with PHIGS
functions describes in that section. The text assumes that the reader is
familiar with basic graphics concepts; a complete understanding of these
basics is helpful, but not required.
