Basic Computer Graphics - Resources?

Atomic Pineapple

Hi all,

Currently learning about basic computer graphics and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book or resource site as it's kind of going over my head at the minute.

A good book or web resource where it is clearly and easily explained would be nice, math's isn't my strongest point

Particularly looking at the following:

Bresenhams Line Algorithm
Boundry Fill Algorithm

To start off with

Oh and in Java if possible

hobochris

try:

http://www.processing.org/
processing is a graphics api for java that is very good for learning the basics.

or

https://jogl.dev.java.net/

jogl is a java api for opengl (commonly used in computer games as an alternative to directx (micro$oft) ).

Its for college work so I cant use any packages or graphics libraries, have to do the pure bresenham algorithm and boundary fill algorithm myself in Java code.

Just the lecturer's notes don't suit me or I just don't get it, I was looking for alternative sources where I can read up on the algorithms myself and maybe understand them easier

GameDev have Bresenham's explained. If you poke around, boundary fill is probably there too.

Wikipedia's always good for basic algorithms like this.
