What is the Computer Graphics?

• Producing picture using a computer.

represented in a computer.
• Production, manipulation, and displaying
images using computer.

Pixel( picture element) : the smallest element
of an image.
Pixel Attributes:
- Coordinates (X,Y)
- Intensity
- Resolution: number of pixels in an image
eg 700p*800p
Types of Resolution:
Spatial Resolution: no. of pixels
Gray- level Resolution: no. of bits per pixel
Pixel consist of 8 bit

1) Given an image with 8bits/bixels the maximum number of intensity?

2) Given an image with 8bits/bixels the maximum intensity value of this image?
Graphics Models
Raster (Bit-map) Vectors(Random)
Images are represented by dots pixels Images are represented by sequence
of commands or mathematical
statements
Resolution dependent Resolution independent
Raster scan display (TV, monitors, Random scan display (plotters)
printer)
Software: Photoshop, paint, shop pro Software: illustrator
File structures: Bmp, Jpg, Png ,Gif File structures: pdf, SVG

• A vector file is smaller than a corresponding Bit- map Raster


• Vector images are ideal for text , logo images
Graphics Primitives
• Line Drawing
We should have two points ,starting point p1
and ending point p2 .
P1(x1,y1)
P2(x2,y2)
Slope m= Δy/ Δx= y2-y1/ x2-x1
Line equation= Y= mx+b
Line Drawing algorithms
• DDA (Digital Differential Analyzer)
• Bresenham’s
main steps for DDA
1- We determine the direction of the drawing
R L L R
2- calculate the slope (m)

Question1: given the end points p1(0,0),p2(8,6) of
a line, find the line points that will be produced
using DDA?
