6. Computer Graphics

I have done some work on computer graphics that should go here. During my studies at Kaiserslautern , I developed some hidden-line algorithms, which I published in the following two research papers:

• C. Karakas, “ Hidden-line algorithm based on range searching”, Comput.-Aided Des. vol. 23 no.10 (1991) pp.684-691

• C. Karakas, “ Applications of visibility on the computation of offset curve patterns”, Comput. & Graphics vol. 16 no. 2 (1992) pp. 159-165

I have a faible for visualization, so I added graphics to the Mortgage Calculator of David Tufts, at the bottom of the page, the first one displaying the remaining balance, the second showing the interplay of monthly paid interest vs. monthly paid principal, both on a month/money coordinate system. You can see the source code here. It's a nice example of dynamic web graphics using PHP and the PHPlot Library.
