Synopsis

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, there have not been, until now, with "PHIGS by Example", any PHIGS texts available to the average software engineer or graphics students. 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. The book aims to teach 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 PHIGS. Each section begins with a discussion of the PHIGS topics presented in that section and is then followed by a detailed explanation of an example program or subroutine. Each section concludes with a set of exercises that are designed to challenge the reader to experiment with the PHIGS functions described in that section. The text assumes that the reader is familiar with basic graphics concepts. This handbook on computer graphics is intended for software engineers using PHIGS, professionals using computer graphics, upper level undergraduates and graduate students learning computer graphics.
