A University-level reference that I've found helpful is 
/Computer Graphics, Priniciples and Practice/, by Foley, van Dam et al.
I hear there's a second edition out, I've only used the first one.

I've found it covers most of the basic rendering, although it's a
little sketchy on anti-aliasing (it does cover Porter-Duff compositing
in reasonable detail, though).  I don't recall any treatment of
geometric algorithms, though, be it plane or spatial.
