Basics of Computer Graphics:

In this unit we are going to learn the transformation of points and line utilized to create different objects in this unit which are the fundamentals of computer graphics. Transformations play a vital role in geometric modeling and viewing. Transformations may also be utilized to create animated files of geometric models to learn their motion. Typical CAD operations as, rotation, translation, mirroring of objects are all based on geometric transformations covered in this unit.
