This outstanding reference/text provides a solid understanding of the internal functions of graphics-oriented CAD/CAM software and the methods used to develop it - emphasizing the mathematical and programming techniques necessary for describing geometric models and the organization of associated data and supplying an IBM-compatible disk containing subprograms, example programs, and a fully functional 2-D CAD program.
Offering a host of programs and program segments, Computer Graphics for CAD/CAM Systems examines computer graphic hardware as well as primitives, viewports, windows, graphs, and charts . . . 2-D and 3-D transformations, free-form curves, and graphical databases . . . user interface techniques and animation . . . 3-D modeling, curves, surfaces, and working planes . . . hidden line/surface removal . . . CAD/CAM applications, including finite element modeling and interfacing geometric data . . . and more.
Written by a renowned engineer and educator, Computer Graphics for CAD/CAM Systems is an incomparable reference for software, hardware, mechanical, manufacturing, and design engineers working with CAD/CAM systems; CAD/CAM operators and managers; and draftspersons; and the text of choice for all upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education courses in computer graphics, computer-aided engineering, and computer-aided design.
