1. A line is to be drawn from P1 (2,12) to P2 (8,3) on the raster screen. Compute the raster
approximation to the line using
(a) DDA algorithm
(b) Bresenham algorithm
2. Explain why Bresenham line drawing algorithm is faster in operation than DDA
algorithm.
3. During shear transformation, the vertices of a square object with coordinates (0,0),
(1,0), (1,1) and (0,1) get transformed to (0,0), (2,1), (3,3) and (1,2). Compute the shear
transformation matrix.
4. A triangle at (1,1,1), (1,2,1) and (1,3,1) is rotated about z axis by 45 degree and then
reflected about yz plane. Calculate the final position of the triangle.
5. Difference between perspective and axonometric projection
6. Explain why for computer assisted graphics design, parametric form of curve
representation is preferred to implicit/explicit types.
7. Two parametric curves P(u) = [u u2 0] and Q(v) = [v 0 -v2], u,v lies between (0,1) are
joined in space. Examine the conditions of continuity at the joint.
8. A circular cone has its base in x-y plane and axis along the z-axis. The circle has a
radius of 5. Height of the cone is 5. Derive the vector valued of parametric equation of
the cone. Compute point on the cone for u=0.2 and v= 0.3.
9. What are the different types of formats for geometric data storage?
10. How is B-Rep solid modelling different from CSG.
