COMPUTER GRAPHICS
Spring 2008
Final Exam Review Sheet
The final exam will take place on May 6, at 11:00am. It will be open everything: book, notes, handouts, and
computer (which means that either we must have the test in the Keck lab, or everyone has a laptop that they
can use). This guide should help you to prepare for the final properly.
Covered Material
The final exam covers the following areas, includ-
ing all handouts and sample code that have been
distributed in support of this content:
In detail Angel Chapters 1–7, Angel Appen-
dices B and C, and red book Chapters 1–5
In general Angel Chapters 10–11, red book
Chapter 9, and red book Appendices A, B, D, E,
and F
Working knowledge of C and OpenGL
Sample Tasks and Questions
In addition to the types of questions that were fair
game for the midterm, the following represent
questions or tasks that you may be asked to ac-
complish for the final:
“Expose” some OpenGL function by explaining
how it works or by providing its implementation
Provide a UML diagram for some aspect of a
computer graphics application (conceptual
model, use case model)
Given some application domain, select a 3D ob-
ject modeling approach (constructive solid ge-
ometry, curves/surfaces, polygon mesh, etc.) and
explain the rationale behind your choice
Derive an algorithm or prove a theorem relating
to transformations and projections
Compare different approaches to some com-
puter graphics operation (transforms, clipping,
hidden surface removal, lighting, polygon scan
conversion, etc.), particularly their relative advan-
tages and disadvantages in terms of perfor m-
ance, resource use, and accuracy
Discuss or explain a particular computer graph-
ics algorithm (some type of transformation,
clipping, hidden surface removal, lighting, poly-
gon scan conversion, etc.)
Modify a computer graphics algorithm (trans-
forms, clipping, hidden surface removal, lighting,
polygon scan conversion, etc.) according to some
specification, or explain why the requested modi-
fication cannot be made
Answer a “big picture” question regarding the
overall area of computer graphics, spanning the
entire journey from modeling to world space to
the screen or viewport
