Class Notes for 15-463, Computer Graphics 2

The 1-up, 2-up, and 6-up links will bring up a Postscript viewer, with 1, 2, or 6 slides per page, respectively. Use 1-up for browsing, and 2-up or 6-up for printing. You can also print the Postscript files directly from AFS. If your WWW browser uses the Ghostview Postscript interpreter, as Netscape does, then hit the Orientation button and Landscape to properly orient 1-up images.

The PDF links are 2-up Portable Document Format files, which should bring up an Adobe Acrobat Reader.
