I would like to find some good textbooks on computer graphics. Specifically, I am interested in image formation/rendering, fractal geometry, and graphics environments (X-windows). I doubt I will find these 3 topics in the same book(s), but I'm interested in just what books are being used as textbooks in many graphics classes. I know about SIGGRAPH proceedings and about some IEEE tutorials on Graphics. If I get enough replies, I post a summary. Thanks in advance. -- Herb Barad [Signal & Image Processing Laboratory] [Electrical Engineering Dept. - Tulane Univ.] INTERNET: barad@ee.tulane.edu USENET: barad@bourbon.uucp

We use Berger for our Intro course and Rogers for our 2nd course; our Upper level courses use the IEEE Tutorial on Image Synthesis and Geometric Modeling by Mortenson.
