Mixed Programming Paradigms in Computer Graphics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Focus on Computer Graphics ((FOCUS COMPUTER))

Abstract

Due to the intrinsic object-based nature of computer graphics, the object-oriented paradigm seems to fit naturally as a tool for designing and using a graphics system. However, several attributes of computer graphics systems do not fit the object-oriented paradigm well. This paper discusses the nature of computer graphics systems, how the object-oriented paradigm meshes with these systems, and cases where other paradigms fit graphics in a more natural manner.
