CSE 581 Homework

Homeworks are due in class. I am willing to spend 5 minutes at the beginning of class going over some of the more difficult questions. Computer problems can be done by hand (preferred for prep for exams), by calculator, computer, whatever.

Homework #1: Show all work. Due March 28 in class

• Go thru the Baby OpenGL program in the choice of your programming language:
  • C#
  • C++ with .NET
  • C++ with ugly nasty poor programming practice enforcing Glut.
• Answer the following questions:
  • Define an equilateral triangle.
  • Define the keyword rasterization.
  • Is the displayed triangle an equilateral triangle? Hold a piece of paper up to the screen and measure each side.
  • Double check the vertices to determine whether they define an equilateral triangle (to 2 significant digits).
  • Enlarge the window such that it is wide but short. What shape is the triagle?
  • Enlarge the window for easier measurement. You can set the size of the Window in the Form1 property page. Try 600 by 600.

  • What is the color in the center of the triangle (in english as well as approximately in RGB space)?
