This book originates from the lectures given at the international conference "Theory and Practice of Geometric Modeling", Blaubeuren, FRG, October 3-7, 1988, that brought together leading experts from universities, system developers, and system users, to discuss new concepts and future trends in geometric modeling. The book covers a variety of topics on an advanced level and is organized as follows. Part A contains new algorithms and techniques for modeling objects that are bounded by free form surfaces. Part B focuses on surface/surface intersections, new types of blending surfaces and speed ups for ray tracing. Part C contains some new geometric tools. Part D discusses different representation schemes in solid modeling, conversions between these different schemes, and some applications. Part E covers some issues of product modeling, automatic tolerancing, high level specification of solid models (constraints, features) and the need for better user interfaces. |

With the release of the latest version, AutoCAD maintains its place as the most powerful computer-aided drawing software available for PCs today. Of course, to take advantage of all that power, you need a comprehensive guide that's as easy to understand as it is to use -- AutoCAD 14 Bible. In AutoCAD 14 Bible, AutoCAD pro Ellen Finkelstein not only covers every important feature of the program but also provides practical, real-world advice useful for everyone from beginner to expert. Turn to AutoCAD 14 Bible for just the right combination of tutorial and reference on topics such as How to install and customize your AutoCAD software How to draw in two dimensions, including working with layers and taking advantage of zooming, panning, dimensioning, plotting, and printing functions How to work with data, whether in the form of blocks, attributes, or external references, and transform it into meaningful drawings How to draw in three dimensions, from hiding and shading to rendering techniques How to organize and manage complex drawings -- and even how to use AutoCAD with the World Wide Web How to make use of the AutoLISP programming language to automate AutoCAD functions and extend the program's functionality Plus, AutoCAD 14 Bible comes complete with a bonus CD-ROM containing over 160 sample drawings and support files, over 40 freeware and shareware programs and block libraries, and a complete guide to third-party software to round out your AutoCAD application. |

The book covers computer graphics programming on the basis of the Graphical Kernal System, GKS. GKS is the first international standard for the functions of a computer graphics system. It offers capabilities for creation and representation of two-dimensional pictures, handling input from graphical workstations, structuring and manipulating pictures, and for storing and retrieving them. It represents a methodological framework for the concepts of computer graphics and establishes a common understanding for computer graphics systems, methods and applications. This book gives an overview over the GKS concepts, the history of GKS design and the various system interfaces. A significant part of the book is devoted to a detailed description of the application of GKS functions both in Pascal and a FORTRAN-Language environment. |

This book is a tutorial on image processing. Each chapter explains basic concepts with words and figures, shows image processing results with photographs, and implements the operations in C. The C code in this book is based on a series of articles published in The C Users Journal from 1990 through 1993, and includes three entirely new chapters and six new appendices. The new chapters are 1) an introduction to the entire system, 2) a set of routines for Boolean operations on images -- such as subtracting or adding one with another, 3) a batch system for performing offline processing (such as overnight for long involved manipulations). The C Image Processing System (CIPS) works with Tag Image File Format (TIFF) gray scale images. The entire system has been updated from the original publications to comply with the TIFF 6.0 specification from June 1993 (the magazine articles were written for the TIFF 5.0 specification.) The text and accompanying source code provide working edge detectors, filters, and histogram equalizers, I/O routines, display and print procedures that are ready to use, or can be modified for special applications. Print routines are provided for laser printers, graphics printers, and character printers. Display procedures are provided for monochrome, CGA, VGA, and EGA monitors. All of these functions are provided in a system that will run on a "garden variety" PC, not requiring a math co-processor, frame grabber, or Super VGA monitor. Audience: Programmers seeking tools for image processing, ranging from the basics to advanced techniques. System Requirements: Any PC with a hard disk. Slower the machine, the slower the processing, but the system does not require a math co-processor or special imaging board. A regular VGA monitor is preferred, but you can use the system with an EGA or CGA monitor. The code was compiled with Microsoft C v 6. The code should run using other compilers with little modification. |

This volume provides an analysis and exposition of the theoretical bases for computer graphics and CAD in order to give our understanding and exploitation of them a more rigorous and comprehensive basis. This bridging of the gap between theory and practice in a systematic and detailed way is of great interest at the present time. The extensive and detailed reference material in this volume has not been published previously. The wide range of the material provides the reader with a standard reference book. |
