Two-Dimensional Viewing Pipeline

Coordinate Systems
Several coordinate systems used in graphics systems. World coordinates are the units of the scene to be modelled; we select a window of this world for viewing Viewing coordinates are where we wish to present the view on the output device; we can achieve zooming by mapping different sized clipping windows to a xed-size viewport; can have multiple viewports

Viewing-Coordinate Clipping Window (contd.)

If the view coordinate system is located at (a, b) we rstly translate it back to the world origin by subtracting the view-up vector, V = (a, b) The angle, , that V makes with the y -world axis is what w must be rotated by to transform it in to viewing coordinates Then the composite transformation MW ,V to make this transformation from w (world) to v (viewport) is v = MW ,V w where MW ,V = R T Translate rst, then Rotate cos sin 0 1 0 a = sin cos 0 0 1 b 0 0 1 0 0 1

Normalization and Viewport Transformations

In some graphics systems normalization and window-to-viewport transformations are combined in to one operation In this case axes of viewport coord. system are often given in range of [0, 1] After clipping, the square is mapped to the output display As an alternative, in other systems normalization and clipping are applied before viewport transformations In these systems, the viewport boundaries are specied in screen coords relative to the display-window position What both systems have in common is a need to map a point (x, y ) in one rectangle to (x , y ) in another

What is transformation that maps (x, y ) within, say, the clipping window to (x , y ) in, say, a normalised window? In order to maintain the same relative position x nx x cx = Nx nx Cx cx y ny y cy = Ny ny Cy cy

Normalization and Viewport Transformations (contd.)

After solving for (x , y ) we get... x = sx x + tx y = s y y + ty

The scalings, sx and sy are sx = Nx nx , Cx cx sy = Ny ny Cy cy

The translation factors are tx = Cx nx cx Nx C x cx ty = Cy ny cy Ny Cy cy

Normalization and Viewport Transformations (contd.)

This expression holds for any mapping from one rectangular coordinate system to another Whether the clipping window to viewport transformation is done in one step or in two, the same procedure for determining the transformation matrix can be used For example, if we map from the clipping window to a normalized square [1, 1] [1, 1], (then clip in this square and then convert to screen coords) the rst transformation matrix of this pipeline is 2 Cx +cx 0 Cx cx C c x x Cy +cy 2 MC,NS = 0 Cy cy Cy cy 0 0 1
