Best Material
A Lab Exercise for 2D Line Clipping
David J. Stahl, Jr. US Naval Academy
A brilliantly prepared lab exercise on a central graphics problem. The module provides all of the files for display and interaction in order to permit focusing student effort on the implementation of the algorithm. Students will be able to apply theoretical knowledge to create a real implementation.
