This may a bit presumptuous, but a reference text I enjoyed years ago (six to
be exact) was Principles of Interactive Computer Graphics (Newmann and Sproull)
that really covers the waterfront where graphics is concerned. I picked it up
for a then pricey $48.00. I imagine that it costs even more now if you can find
it. At the time I was working on a graphics library for Turbo C 1.0. 
In what was then excellent timing, Borland provided Turbo C 1.5 and the BGI
graphics routines. I abandoned the library I was writing. However, the N&S text
provided me with many solid algorithms that let me explore my orphaned Mindset
Personal Computer's capabilities.
There may be copies of the N&S text in college libraries to this day. Regardless,
I found it a highly valuable work and would recommend it to anyone.

Best of luck.
