Inhaltsangabe

Visual Basic for Windows 95 is used to develop in-house PC business and client/server applications and to create user interfaces for other programs. These applications increasingly require the ability to display and create graphics and although Visual Basic provides a rich set of interface components, it offers little or no support for complex graphics. This is a guide to creating applications and adding sophisticated graphics capabilities to non-graphics applications. The book blends graphics theory and algorithms with a hands-on technique. It teaches the practical fundamentals of the full range of graphics-intensive programs (data display, multimedia, games). It covers topics including: VB control programming; graphics programming with the Windows 95 API; image processing; animation and 2D and 3D graphics; shading models, ray tracing and radiosity; and geometric and other graphics algorithms for VB. The CD-ROM features a complete library of graphics subroutines and functions, in addition to example programs from the text, all of which readers can draw upon to build their own programs.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The definitive guide to creating graphics applications and features with Visual Basic—including version 5.0

In this book, Visual Basic expert Rod Stephens provides a powerful blend of graphics principles and proven hands-on techniques. He teaches the practical fundamentals for the full range of graphics-intensive programs, including data display, multimedia, and games. Readers will learn how to both create entire graphics applications and add sophisticated graphics capabilities to nongraphics applications. Visual Basic Graphics Programming covers:

• Visual Basic controls programming.
• Graphics programming with the Windows 95 API.
• Image processing.
• Animation, 2-D, and 3-D graphics.
• Shading models, ray tracing, and radiosity.
• Geometric and other graphics algorithms for Visual Basic.

Includes CD-ROM with

• A complete library of graphics, subroutines, and functions.
• Sample programs from the book, which readers can customize and reuse in their own programs.
