Mastering Computer Graphics Concepts QUESTION BANK: 1000+ Conceptual Questions for Students and Professionals

A Comprehensive Question Bank with MCQs, Short and Mid-Length Questions, and Numericals – For BCA, MCA, B.Tech, M.Tech & Software Interviews

About the Book

Mastering Computer Graphics Concepts QUESTION BANK is a comprehensive practice and revision resource designed to help students and professionals strengthen their understanding of computer graphics through extensive question-based learning.

Computer Graphics is an important subject in computer science and information technology, combining mathematics, geometry, algorithms, programming, visualization, rendering, and computational thinking.

Understanding the subject requires more than reading theoretical concepts. Students need regular practice with algorithms, transformation matrices, numerical calculations, diagrams, rendering concepts, and application-oriented questions.

This question bank addresses that need by providing 1000+ conceptual and practical questions organized chapter by chapter.

The book covers the complete progression from basic computer graphics concepts to advanced topics such as 3D viewing, clipping, curves and surfaces, illumination, shading, hidden-surface removal, rasterization, animation, OpenGL, and WebGL.

It is particularly useful for university examinations, assignments, laboratory preparation, viva examinations, competitive examinations, technical interviews, and self-assessment.
