This is an attempt to re-create the web page for CS559 from 2007.

The original course web was created in PMWIKI, which has been hard to maintain.

This site automatically converted the pages - the formatting is very different, but most of the content has copied over. Many links are broken.

The “Home Page” was Main.Main. You might also check out Site.AllPages.

The best way to find things is probably to search for it…

Alpha Channel Tutorial (Adobe Photoshop) Created by Yoh Suzuki in 2007 This tutorial will show you how to create and use an alpha channel in Adobe Photoshop.

Compiling programs with FlTk and VS2005 A tutorial for CS559 students written October 2007, by Mike Gleicher There is another set of tutorials that walk you through setting up a project to use FlTk with Visual Studio for CS559. This one is a little different in that I will try to explain why you are doing each of the required steps, as well as giving you some alternatives. By understanding this, you should be more able to deal with things when they break. Read more…

This class has been assigned to the “Storm” laboratory in B240 Computer Sciences. 559 students have priority on these machines, so if the lab is full of CS302 students feel free to ask them to another lab. You are free to work on other machines (such as your home computer or laptop) subject to the following caveats: Your code must build and run on the Storm machines. As far as we are concerned, if it doesn’t compile and run on a Storm, it doesn’t run. Read more…

Thoughts on C++ for Programming and 559 For this class, you will need to program all of your projects and assignments in C++. This is not a statement about the language, or the appropriateness to doing graphics. It’s more a statement about what is a convenient environment for us to teach graphics in. Just as we chose to give lectures in English, despite the fact that other languages could have been used, we chose to give programming assignments and projects in C++. Read more…
