The official code repository for the 'Graphics Gems' book series, containing C source code for classic computer graphics algorithms and techniques. It serves as a companion code archive maintained by series editor Eric Haines.

Use cases

• implement classic 2D and 3D graphics algorithms
• find reference C code for rasterization and geometry tricks
• study historical graphics programming techniques
• look up matrix, vector, and quaternion math routines
• port proven graphics snippets into modern engines
• learn computer graphics fundamentals from book examples

When to choose

• you need well-known graphics algorithm implementations from a trusted source
• you are studying or teaching computer graphics
• you want reference C code for geometry, shading, or rendering tricks

When to avoid

• you need a modern maintained graphics library or engine
• you require permissively licensed code for commercial use without review
• you want GPU/shader-era techniques rather than classic CPU-era algorithms
