Comp Graphics Algorithms Charter

From CGAFaq

comp.graphics.algorithms is an unmoderated newsgroup intended as a forum for the discussion of the algorithms used in the process of generating computer graphics. These algorithms may be recently proposed in published journals or papers, old or previously known algorithms, or hacks used incidental to the process of computer graphics. The scope of these algorithms may range from an efficient way to multiply matrices, all the way to a global illumination method incorporating raytracing and Monte Carlo integration.

It is hoped that this group will serve as a forum for programmers and researchers to exchange ideas and ask questions on recent papers or current research related to computer graphics.

comp.graphics.algorithms is not:

• for requests for gifs, or other pictures
• for requests for image translator or processing software; see
  • alt.binaries.pictures* FAQ
  • alt.binaries.pictures.utilities (now degenerated to pic postings)
  • alt.graphics.pixutils (image format translation)
  • comp.sources.misc (image viewing source code)
  • sci.image.processing
• for requests for compression software; for these try:
  • alt.comp.compression
  • comp.compression
  • comp.compression.research
• specifically for game development; for this try:
  • comp.games.development.programming.misc
  • comp.games.development.programming.algorithms
• for requests about information about usage of specific APIs (such as OpenGL, Direct3D, or the Win32 API)
• For discussion of graph theory (see the comp.theory newsgroup)
