4.0 out of 5 stars You will most likely use chapters, but not entire book., 15 Feb 1999
By A Customer
The scope of this book in much too broad. You will find chapters quite appealing and useful to your needs, but just when you partake of the fruit of your interest (mine: image processing) the chapter(s) end and you're kicked out of the garden of graphical programming delights and into the forbidden territory of no interest (for me; 3D, ray tracing, ...). I, however, give this title reasonably good marks due to the difficulty of finding titles with content focusing only on one's graphical/image programming needs.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you plan to buy this book to get usable code, don't., 2 Oct 1998
By A Customer
The graphics handling presented in the book takes no account of multiple color depths... only 256-color mode. There is no code presented to handle what we all face every day... a mixture of 256-color, 16-bit high color and 24-bit true color images. Even if you run in the required 256-color mode, many examples don't work properly. This book is a disappointment.
