Difference between Raster and Random Scan Display

-

 A) Raster Scan Display



1) The Architecture of Raster Scan Display consist of a display controller, Keyword, Mouse, CPU, Video controller, Refresh buffer and CRT.

2) Refresh buffer is a temporary place where picture informations is stored in order to refresh the screen.

3) The video controller Reads the refresh buffer and produces the actual image on the screen

4) The Picture information is stored in the form of 0's and 1's in the refresh buffer.

5) So Information of picture is stored in refresh buffer and it is read by Video controller as in above architecture the output will be letter 'T', But How is picture displayed by video controller?

6) It is done through scanning one scanline at a time, from top to bottom and then back to top.


7) Raster Scan Display is mainly used in JPG, GIF, PNG image format.

8) when Raster image is Zoomed or made bigger in size in layman terms, the image will be distorted or we will get a blur image, Because they are made up of Pixel i.e (grid of Rows and Columns) if you try to increase the resolution then of course it will be distorted.



B) Random Scan Display


1) In Random scan Display architecture we have the same components only, but the only difference here is, in format of picture information stored in refresh buffer.

2) The information stored in refresh buffer is the set of instructions like coordinate of line, move instruction, make line instruction as we have in assembly language.

3) Here image is drawn directly through coordinate points on the screen, no scanning is done here.

4) Random Scan Display is used High Quality images, in SVG, the size is rescaleable like Logos.

5) Random is also known as Vector Scan Display.



• From the above image you can clearly identify the difference between Raster and vector Scan Display.

• Can Even check it by Zooming in and out.


*You can leave a comment if you have doubt in it.

Functions of graphics

 • First will discuss basic geometric shapes and base on that we will make a simple program where we will have a x and y axis and all the shapes in it. 1) Line Function => line function is used to draw a line by just giving 4 points. syntax:       void line(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2); Where:          x1 : initial x-coordinate        y1 : intial  y-coordinate        x2 : end x-coordinate        y2 : end y-coordinate Example    : line(100, 100, 200, 200); Explanation : A line would be drawn from point(100, 100) to point(200,200). 2) Rectangle Function => Rectangle function is used to draw a rectangle.  => Rectangle function is same as bar function already discussed in last post, only difference is in bar function we get only 3 lines in output, but in rectangle we get all the four lines. =>Coordinates of left top and right bottom corner are required to draw the rectangle. left specifies the X-coordinate of top left corner, top specifies the Y-coordinate of top left corne

Line Basic Concepts

 • 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 difference because pixel are very c

Shadow Mask technique

  1) Shadow Mask technique is used in Raster Scan Display and produces wide range of colour, which wasn't possible in Beam penetration technique. 2) Here on the screen we have 3 dots of each color which means one pixel has three value of color i.e RGB which can create many different shades of color. 3) So in this technique we have 3 electron gun's which are assigned for there respective color RGB and one more most important thing that is a grid just behind the screen which is known as "Shadow Mask Grid" . 4)  Shadow mask grid is pierced with small round holes in a triangular pattern. 5) Th e 3 electron beams are deflected and focused as a group onto the shadow mask, which contains a sequence of holes aligned with the phosphor- dot patterns . 6) There is one gun for each of 3 Color RGB . 7) when these three colors mixed together can create all the colors we see on the screen, but remember these gun don't shoot the bullets instead they shoot a powerful beam of elect
