Display Processor • Rather than have the host computer try to refresh display use a special purpose computer called a display processor (DPU) • Graphics stored in display list (display file) on display processor • Host compiles display list and sends to DPU Narendra V G CSE MIT
Direct View Storage Tube • Created by Tektronix • Did not require constant refresh • Standard interface to computers • Allowed for standard software • Plot3D in Fortran • Relatively inexpensive • Opened door to use of computer graphics for CAD community Narendra V G CSE MIT
Computer Graphics: 1970-1980 • Raster Graphics • Beginning of graphics standards • IFIPS • GKS: European effort • Becomes ISO 2D standard • Core: North American effort • 3D but fails to become ISO standard • Workstations and PCs Narendra V G CSE MIT
Raster Graphics • Image produced as an array (the raster) of picture elements (pixels) in the frame buffer Narendra V G CSE MIT
Raster Graphics • Allows us to go from lines and wire frame images to filled polygons Narendra V G CSE MIT
PCs and Workstations • Although we no longer make the distinction between workstations and PCs, historically they evolved from different roots • Early workstations characterized by • Networked connection: client-server model • High-level of interactivity • Early PCs included frame buffer as part of user memory • Easy to change contents and create images Narendra V G CSE MIT
Computer Graphics: 1980-1990 Realism comes to computer graphics smooth shading environment mapping bump mapping Narendra V G CSE MIT
Computer Graphics: 1980-1990 • Special purpose hardware • Silicon Graphics geometry engine • VLSI implementation of graphics pipeline • Industry-based standards • PHIGS • RenderMan • Networked graphics: X Window System • Human-Computer Interface (HCI) Narendra V G CSE MIT
Computer Graphics: 1990-2000 • OpenGL API • Completely computer-generated feature-length movies (Toy Story) are successful • New hardware capabilities • Texture mapping • Blending • Accumulation, stencil buffers Narendra V G CSE MIT
Computer Graphics: 2000- • Photorealism • Graphics cards for PCs dominate market • Nvidia, ATI • Game boxes and game players determine direction of market • Computer graphics routine in movie industry: Maya, Lightwave • Programmable pipelines Narendra V G CSE MIT
Graphics Definitions • Point • a location in space, 2D or 3D • sometimes denotes one pixel • Line • straight path connecting two points • infinitesimal width, consistent density • beginning and end on points Narendra V G CSE MIT
Graphics Definitions • Vertex • point in 3D • Edge • line in 3D connecting two vertices • Polygon/Face/Facet • arbitrary shape formed by connected vertices • fundamental unit of 3D computer graphics Narendra V G CSE MIT
Graphics Definitions • Raster • derived from TV systems for a row of pixels • commonly referred to as a scanline • does influence algorithms – reducing memory requirements, parallelism, etc. • is the derivation of rasterization, scan-line algorithms Narendra V G CSE MIT
Summary • The course is about algorithms, not applications • Graphics execution is a pipelined approach • Basic definitions presented Narendra V G CSE MIT
Programming with OpenGL Basics
Objectives • Development of the OpenGL API • OpenGL Architecture • OpenGL as a state machine • Functions • Types • Formats • Simple program Narendra V G CSE MIT
Early History of APIs • IFIPS (1973) formed two committees to come up with a standard graphics API • Graphical Kernel System (GKS) • 2D but contained good workstation model • Core • Both 2D and 3D • GKS adopted as IS0 and later ANSI standard (1980s) • GKS not easily extended to 3D (GKS-3D) • Far behind hardware development Narendra V G CSE MIT
PHIGS and X • Programmers Hierarchical Graphics System (PHIGS) • Arose from CAD community • Database model with retained graphics (structures) • X Window System • DEC/MIT effort • Client-server architecture with graphics • PEX combined the two • Not easy to use (all the defects of each) Narendra V G CSE MIT
SGI and GL • Silicon Graphics (SGI) revolutionized the graphics workstation by implementing the pipeline in hardware (1982) • To access the system, application programmers used a library called GL • With GL, it was relatively simple to program three dimensional interactive applications Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL The success of GL lead to OpenGL (1992), a platform-independent API that was • Easy to use • Close enough to the hardware to get excellent performance • Focus on rendering • Omitted windowing and input to avoid window system dependencies Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL Evolution • Originally controlled by an Architectural Review Board (ARB) • Members included SGI, Microsoft, Nvidia, HP, 3DLabs, IBM,……. • Relatively stable (present version 2.1) • Evolution reflects new hardware capabilities • 3D texture mapping and texture objects • Vertex programs • Allows for platform specific features through extensions • ARB replaced by Kronos Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL Libraries • OpenGL core library • OpenGL32 on Windows • GL on most unix/linux systems (libGL.a) • OpenGL Utility Library (GLU) • Provides functionality in OpenGL core but avoids having to rewrite code • Links with window system • GLX for X window systems • WGL for Windows • AGL for Macintosh Narendra V G CSE MIT
GLUT • OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) • Provides functionality common to all window systems • Open a window • Get input from mouse and keyboard • Menus • Event-driven • Code is portable but GLUT lacks the functionality of a good toolkit for a specific platform • No slide bars Narendra V G CSE MIT
Software Organization application program OpenGL Motif widget or similar GLUT GLX, AGLor WGL GLU GL X, Win32, Mac O/S software and/or hardware Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL Architecture geometry pipeline Immediate Mode Per Vertex Operations & Primitive Assembly Polynomial Evaluator DisplayList Per Fragment Operations Frame Buffer CPU Rasterization Texture Memory Pixel Operations Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL Functions • Primitives • Points • Line Segments • Polygons • Attributes • Transformations • Viewing • Modeling • Control (GLUT) • Input (GLUT) • Query Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL State • OpenGL is a state machine • OpenGL functions are of two types • Primitive generating • Can cause output if primitive is visible • How vertices are processed and appearance of primitive are controlled by the state • State changing • Transformation functions • Attribute functions Narendra V G CSE MIT
Lack of Object Orientation • OpenGL is not object oriented so that there are multiple functions for a given logical function • glVertex3f • glVertex2i • glVertex3dv • Underlying storage mode is the same • Easy to create overloaded functions in C++ but issue is efficiency Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL function format function name dimensions glVertex3f(x,y,z) x,y,zare floats belongs to GL library glVertex3fv(p) pis a pointer to an array Narendra V G CSE MIT
OpenGL #defines • Most constants are defined in the include files gl.h, glu.h and glut.h • Note #include <GL/glut.h> should automatically include the others • Examples • glBegin(GL_POLYGON) • glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) • include files also define OpenGL data types: GLfloat, GLdouble,….

A Simple Program Generate a square on a solid background Narendra V G CSE MIT
simple.c #include <GL/glut.h> void mydisplay(){ glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT); glBegin(GL_POLYGON); glVertex2f(-0.5, -0.5); glVertex2f(-0.5, 0.5); glVertex2f(0.5, 0.5); glVertex2f(0.5, -0.5); glEnd(); glFlush(); } int main(int argc, char** argv){ glutCreateWindow("simple"); glutDisplayFunc(mydisplay); glutMainLoop(); } Narendra V G CSE MIT
