Computer Graphics (CSC404) and Computer Graphics Lab (CSL402) are core subjects in the Second Year (Semester IV) of the Computer Engineering curriculum at the University of Mumbai. These courses provide foundational knowledge of graphics systems, algorithms for drawing primitives, transformations, and the mathematical principles underlying visual computing.
The curriculum encompasses several key domains in computer graphics:
- Graphics Primitives: Line drawing algorithms (DDA, Bresenham's), circle and ellipse generation
- Scan Conversion: Polygon filling, boundary fill, flood fill algorithms
- 2D Transformations: Translation, rotation, scaling, reflection, shearing
- 3D Transformations: 3D coordinate systems, projection techniques (parallel, perspective)
- Viewing & Clipping: Window-to-viewport mapping, line clipping (Cohen-Sutherland), polygon clipping
- Curves and Surfaces: Bezier curves, B-spline curves, parametric representations
- Hidden Surface Removal: Z-buffer algorithm, painter's algorithm, BSP trees
- Illumination Models: Ambient, diffuse, specular lighting, Phong shading
This repository represents a curated collection of study materials, reference books, assignments, and personal preparation notes compiled during my academic journey. The primary motivation for creating and maintaining this archive is simple yet profound: to preserve knowledge for continuous learning and future reference.
As I progress in my career, I recognize that computer graphics fundamentals remain essential for game development, visualization, virtual reality, and multimedia applications. This repository serves as my intellectual reference point: a resource I can return to for relearning concepts, reviewing methodologies, and strengthening understanding when needed.
Why this repository exists:
- Knowledge Preservation: To maintain organized access to comprehensive study materials beyond the classroom.
- Continuous Learning: To support lifelong learning by enabling easy revisitation of fundamental graphics concepts.
- Academic Documentation: To authentically document my learning journey through CG and CG Lab.
- Community Contribution: To share these resources with students and learners who may benefit from them.
All materials in this repository were gathered, organized, and documented by me during my undergraduate studies (2018-2022) as part of my coursework and exam preparation.

Note
COVID-19 Impact: This coursework was completed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Due to the nationwide lockdown and the sudden transition to online learning, several planned laboratory sessions and collaborative note-taking activities could not be carried out as originally intended. Despite these challenges, efforts were made to adapt and preserve as much work as possible. The limited chapter notes in this section reflect the disruption caused by the pandemic, rather than a lack of effort or commitment.

The laboratory component (CSL402) focuses on hands-on implementation of various graphics algorithms using C programming with the graphics.h library, providing practical experience in visualizing geometric primitives and transformations.
Tip
Graphics Visualization: Always sketch your graphics output on paper before coding. Draw coordinate systems, trace pixel positions for line/circle algorithms step-by-step, and visualize transformation matrices with example points. Understanding the mathematical foundation - Bresenham's error terms, midpoint decisions, and homogeneous coordinates - is essential for implementing efficient graphics algorithms and debugging visual output.
