 Computer Graphics displays information processed by computer in


the form of graphics objects such as pictures, charts, graphs and
diagrams instead of simple text.
 The picture or graphics object may be an engineering drawing,
business graphs, architectural structures, a single frame form an
animated movie or machine parts illustrated for a service manual.
 Computer Graphics is a flourishing field within computer Science. In
this field, we study methods for digitally synthesizing and
manipulating visual content.
 CG touches many aspects of our daily lives: from animation,
computer games, art and special effects to graphical user interfaces,
information visualization, industrial design and education.
