Course Description:	Introduction to concepts in computer graphics, techniques in two- and three-dimensional graphics. Animation and interaction techniques. The course offers assignments aimed to practice the utilization in synchrony of the ANSI C/ Visual C++/ OpenGL computer programming languages.
Course Objectives:	By completion of this course students are expected to know how to model a raster display and implement 2D-3D transformations such as translation, scaling, shearing, rotation, and affine transformations. They are also expected to understand and be able use implement Surface shading, ray tracing and texture mapping in openGL.
