About the Book

Computer Graphics professionals can now find in one volume a collection of 32 "gems" chosen by the editors of the journal of graphics tools, one of the leading publications in the field. These selected papers provide practical ideas and techniques that solve real problems in the areas of - Math & Programming Techniques - Polygon Techniques - Simulation and Collision Detection - Ray Tracing - Rendering and Shadowing - Sampling and Shading - Image Processing Supplementary material in the form of updates on techniques presented, extensions to the original idea, and comments on the impact of the original publication have been provided by many of the authors.
