Introduction to computer graphics

-
First let's understand what exactly the term 'Computer Graphics' is, if you look closely you would recognize that computer graphics is made of three words: 
              1) Computer
              2) Graphics
              3) Pics
Let's understand one by one:
1) Computer: You might already know a device capable of doing calculation in fraction of seconds most heard one's, but it's a device capable of doing any particular task.

2) Graphs: Here graphs means Gemotrical shapes.  
For example: Here through points you can create a line, curve, rectangle, circle, bar graph, pie chart, and many more.

3) pics: which is pictures in computer graphics it is often termed as image.

So now let's define computer graphics:
• The art of drawing picture or images through geometrical shapes with the help of computer is known as Computer graphics.
                                             OR 
• Computer graphics is the branch of computer science that deals with generating images with the aid of computer.

History of computer graphics

 • Computer graphics wasn't invented by one man, but Ivan Sutherland had a lot to do with it.
• Ivan Sutherland is also known as father of Computer graphics.
• In 1963, Ivan Sutherland, developed a 'sketchpad' in which images can be drawn on the screen using lightpen.

                                                 Sketchpad

• Later he developed Virtual Reality equipment and designed Flight simulator.

                                    Virtual Reality equipment

                                         Flight Simulator

• With the help of Virtual Reality equipment and flight simulator application USA army's were given training.
• Training USA army's was the main reason behind the invention.

Line Basic Concepts

-
Image
 • We are going to study about Line Basic Concepts on Raster Screen. • so we are going to discuss what are the different ways in which line can be represented on Raster Screen and some of there respective features. 1) Vertical and Horizontal Line  • They have same width. • Straight line.  • Effective spacing is less. • More brighter. 2) 45° Line  • Width is not a constraint.  • Straight line. • More effective spacing. • Less brighter. Explanation:  • Point to remember is when there is more spacing between the points of line less brighter it will be and vice versa.  • But more spacing leads to effectiness in orientation of line. 3) Line with other orientation • In both of the above image the lines are nethier straight nor of same width. • Here points of line that is Pixel is approximated because while drawing the single line at point we get two points one is above the line and another is below the line. • But here approximation doesn't make a wide diffe...

Sample programs

 • We are going to discuss some simple programs in turbo C before going to graphics program that is terminal in graphic mode. • So simple programs in text mode. 1) Program to print Hello world on different line. #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> int main() {     int c= 5;      for(int i=0;i<12; i=i+2)     {     gotoxy(c,i);     printf("Hello world!");     c=c+2;     } getch(); return 0; } Explanation: • we have also discussed prior about text mode in Turbo C let's understand it in short. • So this is the image representation of text mode where: 1) screen is divided in Rows and Columns. 2) we have 80 rows and 25 columns 3) Here first coordinate is of column and another is row example: (80,25) • 80 is column and 25 is row only in turbo C text mode it's reverse as it is normally. 4)  program we did above is of Controlling the cursor with the help of function gotoxy( )  it's a functio...

Types of Computer Monitor

 • We all use in are day to day life different types of Computer for instance different color, size, shape, and brand, we also have different types of monitor too. • So let's have a look on different types of monitor available in market • Different types of monitor 1) CRT (Cathode Ray tube) 2) LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) 3) TFT (Thin Film Transistor) 4) LED (light Emitting Diodes) • There are two type of CRT display available: 1) Raster Scan Display 2) Vector Scan Display • We will discuss both the display one by one, but before that we will study how CRT works? in further post. * You can leave a comment if you have doubt in it.
