CS451 Fall 02 Midterm

· Test will start Tuesday 22 at 7.30 pm (please try to get there on time) and will last

Exactly 1 h 30 minutes (after a short break there will be a new lecture till end of class).

· No books or notes allowed (you can carry calculators) .

· It will consist of about 25-30 questions, most of them multiple-choices (but with a comment area).

Topics will range from asking questions about snippets of OpenGL code to some calculations to

generic questions on the material presented in class.

Here is a list of topics to study:

· Chapter 1,2, 3 of Red OpenGL Book. Just skip the section in chapter 2 dealing with special

lines (dashed, stippled, etc.)

· Bresenham line scan-conversion algorithm

· Line anti-aliasing algorithm

· 2D and 3D transforms using homogeneous coordinates (review your matrix algebra)

· perspectives and camera positioning. Important: you MUST learn in depth all the openGL

functions we used, including the meaning of input parameters. Review Nate Robin’s tutorial

on projection.
