Computer Graphics Practice Test: Graphics Primitives — Flashcards

Graphics Primitives topics include: Line filling algorithms, line and curve attributes, color and grayscale levels, area fill attributes, bundled and character attributes, character generation and area sampling.

Graphics primitives are basic elements that can be combined to create more complex images. They are non-interactive, rudimentary elements that are displayed on a screen. 
Some examples of graphics primitives include: Lines, Circles, Arcs, Rectangles, Points, Polygons, Squares, Cones. 

Some basic output primitives include:
Point-position (pixel)
A straight line
Polyline
Polymarker
Fill area 

A 3D primitive is a collection of vertices that form a single 3D entity. The simplest primitive is a collection of points in a 3D coordinate system, which is called a point list.
