Lecture 5: Basic Graphics Primitives Rendering Flashcards
The basic geometric objects in CG(Computer Graphics) are usually called ? or ?
(fill in the blanks)
(not same answer)
primitives. graphic output primitives
is a graphics object that is essential for the creation or
construction of complex images.

primitive
Fortunately, ? is constructed from a few basic elements, as
opposed to the great variety of graphics applications.

graphics
Graphics Primitives Include:
(enumerate)
- Lines
- Areas
- Circle
- Rectangle primitive
- Arc
Graphics Primitives Include:
?, especially straight ?, constitute an important building block of computer images.

Line/s
Graphics Primitives Include:
Lines/Straight lines
A straight line can be developed in two different ways:
(enumerate)
- Structural method
- Conditional method
Graphics Primitives Include:
Lines/Straight lines: Structural Method
(describe)
determines which pixels should be set before drawing the line
Graphics Primitives Include:
Lines/Straight lines: Conditional Method
(describe)
tests certain conditions to find which pixel should be set next
Graphics Primitives Include:
Lines/Straight lines
need two points and additional control points.
(identify)
Curves
Graphics Primitives Include:
Lines/Straight lines
are connected sequences of lines.
(identify)
Polylines
Graphics Primitives Include:
are bounded by closed polylines or polygons.
(identify)
Areas
Graphics Primitives Include:
can be filled with colour or a texture.
(identify)
Areas
Graphics Primitives Include:
Areas
even though generally constructed from straight lines, is an important graphics primitive.
(identify)
Polygon
Graphics Primitives Include:
Areas
is a closed area of image bounded by straight or curved lines and filled with one solid colour.
(identify)
Polygon
Graphics Primitives Include:
is an eight-way symmetric figure.
(identify)
Circle
Graphics Primitives Include:
Circle
The ? is the same in all quadrants.
(fill in the blanks)
shape of circle
Graphics Primitives Include:
draws a rectangle with a given starting top left point(x and y coordinates) and a delta x and delta y, plus a line weight and line pattern.
(identify)
rectangle primitive
Graphics Primitives Include:
is drawn as a portion of an oval.
(identify)
Arc
Graphics Primitives Include:
Arc
are measured in degrees.
(identify)
Arc angles
Graphics Primitives Include:
Arc
? from a starting angle by the number of degrees specified by their arc angle.
(identify)
Arcs sweep (i.e., move along a curve)
Graphics Pipeline
(enumerate)
- Application program
- Application data structure
- Graphics system
Graphics Pipeline
This is a collection of output plotting subroutines based on 2D or 3D geometry of the object to be displayed
