INTRODUCTION
Computer graphics can be used in many disciplines.
Charting, Presentations, Drawing, Painting and Design,
Image Processing and Scientific Visualization are some
among them
HISTORY
The phrase “Computer Graphics” was coined in 1960 by
William Fetter, a graphic designer for Boeing.
The field of computer graphics developed with the
emergence of computer graphics hardware.
WHAT IS COMPUTER GRAPHICS?
Creation, Manipulation, and Storage of geometric
objects (modelling) and their images (rendering)
Display those images on screens or hardcopy devices
Image processing
Others: GUI, Haptics,
Displays (VR)...
TYPES OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS
Non Interactive Computer Graphics
Interactive Computer Graphics
NON INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS
It’s known as passive computer graphics, the observer
has no control over the image.
Familiar examples of this type of computer graphics
include the titles shown on TV and other forms of
computer art.
INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS
Interactive Computer Graphics involves a two way
communication between computer and user.
This helps him to signal his request to the computer.
The computer on receiving signals from the input device
can modify the displayed picture appropriately.
APPLICATION
Paint programs
Illustration/design programs
Animation software
CAD software
Desktop publishing
PAINT PROGRAMS
The images are stored as bit maps and can easily be
edited.
It is a graphics program that enables you to draw pictures
on the display screen which is represented as bit maps
(bit-mapped graphics).
In contrast, draw programs use vector graphics (object-
oriented images), which scale better.
ILLUSTRATION/DESIGN PROGRAMS
Supports more advanced features than paint programs,
particularly for drawing curved lines.
The images are usually stored in vector-based formats.
Illustration/design programs are often called draw
programs.
ANIMATION SOFTWARE
It can be defined as a simulation of movement created by
displaying a series of pictures, or frames.
A cartoon on television is one example of animation.
DESKTOP PUBLISHING
Provides a full set of word-processing features as well as
fine control over placement of text and graphics, so that
you can create newsletters, advertisements, books, and
other types of documents.
It means by using a personal computer or workstation
high-quality printed documents can be produced.
CAD SOFTWARE
It is the acronym for computer-aided design.
A CAD system is a combination of hardware and
software that enables engineers and architects to design
everything from furniture to airplanes.
USES
Entertainment and Advertising
Scientific Visualization
Industrial Design
ADVANTAGES
It’s have ability to show moving pictures and thus it is
possible to produce animations with computer graphics.
The computer graphics also provides facility called
update dynamics.
DISADVENTAGES
When it is not properly built, it can be very difficult to
work with.
It generally requires more memory resources than a non-
graphical one.
It might require the installation of additional software,
e.g., the "runtime environment" in the case of java.
CONCLUSION
However as computer graphics went out of fashion when
audiences became used to them, we see graphic
designers using computers as they should be intended as
another tool to get the required creative effect.
