 A picture is stored in the computer’s memory
in a world coordinate system (WCS)
 When picture is displayed on a display

device, it is represented in device coordinate


system (DCS)
 Displaying an image involves mapping of

coordinates from WCS to DCS


 The viewing transformation achieves this

mapping of coordinates by the use of


coordinate transformation.

Prof. Sonal Shroff, TSEC 2


 Window – while modelling an image, we are
not interested in the entire world but a
portion of it. This portion of interest is
defined by a polygonal area specified in
world coordinates, called window.
 This window encloses the object for display.
 Viewport – the user may want to display an

image on different parts of the screen. So


an area is defined in normalized device
coordinates, called viewport

Prof. Sonal Shroff, TSEC 3


 This viewport is used to display the
windowed area of the real world.
 Changing viewport position allows viewing

objects at different locations on the display


device.
 Normalization provides device

independence.

Prof. Sonal Shroff, TSEC 4


 Steps in 2D viewing pipeline
 Construct a world coordinate using model

coordinate transformations
 Convert WC to VC
 Transform viewing coordinates to

normalized coordinates
 Map normalized coordinates to device

coordinates.

Prof. Sonal Shroff, TSEC 5


 The transformations used maintains the
same relative placement of a point in the
viewport, as it had in the window.
 Relative proportions are only maintained, if

the aspect ratio of the viewport is the same


as that of window.
 Window is defined by

◦ Xwmin , Ywmin , Xwmax , Ywmax


 Viewport is defined by
◦ Xvmin , Yvmin , Xvmax , Yvmax

 The transformations involved are

 Scaling transformation – this scales the


window to the size of viewport wrt a fixed
point (Xwmin , Ywmin )
 Translation – this translates the scaled
window to the location of the viewport
