Definition

 Graphics are defined as any sketch or a drawing or a special


network that pictorially represents some meaningful
information. Computer Graphics is used where a set of images
needs to be manipulated or the creation of the image in the
form of pixels and is drawn on the computer. Computer
Graphics can be used in digital photography, film,
entertainment, electronic gadgets, and all other core
technologies which are required. It is a vast subject and area
in the field of computer science. Computer Graphics can be
used in UI design, rendering, geometric objects, animation,
and many more. In most areas, computer graphics is an
abbreviation of CG.
Types of Computer Graphics

 Raster Graphics: In raster, graphics pixels are used for an image to be


drawn. It is also known as a bitmap image in which a sequence of
images is into smaller pixels. Basically, a bitmap indicates a large
number of pixels together.
 Vector Graphics: In vector graphics, mathematical formulae are used
to draw different types of shapes, lines, objects, and so on.
Applications

 Computer Graphics are used for an aided design for engineering and
architectural system- These are used in electrical automobiles, electro-mechanical,
mechanical, electronic devices. For example gears and bolts.
 Computer Art – MS Paint.
 Presentation Graphics – It is used to summarize financial statistical scientific or
economic data. For example- Bar chart, Line chart.
 Entertainment- It is used in motion pictures, music videos, television gaming.
 Education and training- It is used to understand the operations of complex systems. It
is also used for specialized system such for framing for captains, pilots and so on.
 Visualization- To study trends and patterns. For example- Analyzing satellite photo of
earth.
Graphics Hardware(Keyboard,
Printers , plotters etc)
 Graphic Cards The most important piece of graphics hardware is the
graphics card, which is the piece of equipment that renders out all images and
sends them to a display. There are two types of graphics cards: integrated and
dedicated. An integrated graphics card, usually by Intel to use in their
computers, is bound to the motherboard and shares RAM(Random Access
Memory) with the CPU, reducing the total amount of RAM available. This is
undesirable for running programs and applications that use a large amount of
video memory. A dedicated graphics card has its own RAM and Processor for
generating its images, and does not slow down the computer. Dedicated graphics
cards also have higher performance than integrated graphics cards. It is possible
to have both dedicated and integrated graphics, however once a dedicated
graphics card is installed, the integrated card will no longer function until the
dedicated card is removed.
 The GPU or graphics processing unit, is the unit that allows the graphics card to
function. It performs a large amount of the work given to the card. The majority
of video playback on a computer is controlled by the GPU.
 Display Drivers
 A display driver is a piece of software which allows your graphics
hardware to communicate with your operating system. Drivers in
general allow your computer to utilize parts of itself, and without them,
the machine would not function. This is because usually a graphics
device communicates in its own language, which is more sophisticated,
and a computer communicates in its own language, which largely deals
with general commands. Therefore, a driver is required to translate
between the two, and convert general commands into specific
commands, and vice versa, so that each of the devices can understand
the instructions and results.
Two types of CRT

 Raster Scan Display

 Random Scan Display


Raster Scan Display

 It is a scanning technique in which the electron beam moves along with


the screen. It moves from top to bottom, covering one line at a time.
 A raster is based on pixel intensity control display as a rectangular
display as a rectangular box on the screen called a Raster.
 Picture description is stored in the memory area called Refresh Buffer
or Frame Buffer.
 Frame Buffer is also called Raster or Bitmap. Raster provides the refresh
rate of 60 to 80 frames per second..
 Ex- Television.
Display
Processor
Random Scan Display

 In random scan display, the electron beam is directed towards the


areas of the screen where the picture has to be drawn. It is also called
Vector display.
 It does not contain the Frame buffer as the electron beam is directed
only to the areas of the images and nothing needs to be saved.
Difference

Raster Random
 High resolution  Low Resolution
 More expensive  Less expensive
 Modification is easy  Modification is difficult
 Beam Penetration technology comes  Shadow Mask is used under it.
