The document discusses computer graphics and their applications. Computer graphics are images created using computers with specialized software and hardware. Typical graphics systems include computers, display and input devices, and interfacing hardware. Computer graphics are used for scientific visualization, multimedia, simulation, virtual reality, CAD/CAM design, education, business publishing, and more. Common graphical components include icons, buttons, menus. Graphics standards and packages include GKS, PHIGS, OpenGL, and X11-based systems. Computer graphics can be implemented on operating systems like DOS, Windows, Linux, OS/2, and others. Common graphical primitives include polylines, polygons, ellipses, text, and raster images.

Computer graphics are graphics created using computers and, more generally, the representation and manipulation of image data by a computer with help from specialized software and hardware. (Wikipedia)

Typical graphics system comprises of a host computer with support of fast processor, large memory, frame buffer and Display devices (color monitors), Input devices (mouse, keyboard, joystick, touch screen, trackball) Output devices (LCD panels, laser printers, color printers. Plotters etc.) Interfacing devices such as, video I/O, TV interface etc.

Plotting in business Plotting in science and technology GUI Scientific Visualization Office automation Desktop publishing Web/business/commercial publishing and advertisements

Simulation studies Simulators Multimedia Entertainment (movie, TV Advt., Games etc.) Virtual reality Process Monitoring Digital Image Processing Education and Training CAD/CAM design (VLSI, Construction, Circuits)
