Book Description

November 1988 Prentice Hall Advances in Computer Science Series
This book stresses the design, construction, implementation and application of computer graphics software packages. While using the GKS standard the book is not exclusively tied to it; rather it shows the steps and issues involved in the development of a graphics package and a graphics standard. All the programming examples provided in the book are written in Pascal, and they combine to form a fully functional 2-D/3-D graphics package.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great graphics book for Pascal, June 11, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Computer Graphics Software Construction: Using the Pascal Language (Prentice Hall Advances in Computer Science Series) (Hardcover)
I don't often review books, but this sleeper needs a good review.
Most of the books on graphics for "Pascal" feature a particular
implementation of Pascal. This is a book that features
non-implementation specific examples. Starting with a simple get
and set pixel routines, the author explains how all the higher
level functions are performed, with real code examples. He then
gives several chapters of real world systems that these principles can be used on.

Formerly I have been using C graphics books and translating the
code to Pascal for use. Other Pascal graphics books are simply
cookbooks for a particular implementation.
