Raster Scan Display

-

 • Raster can be explained as a rectangular collection of dots or points plotted. i.e (Grid of rows and columns)

   


1) In a raster-scan system, “the electron beam is swept across the screen, one row at a time from top to bottom”. As the electron beam moves across each row, the beam intensity is turned on and off to create a pattern of illuminated spots as below:


2) In a simple black-and-white system, each screen point is either on or off, so only one bit per pixel is needed to control the intensity of screen positions. For a bit level system,
•  A bit value of 1 indicates that the electron beam is to be turn ON at that position. 

• A bit value of 0 indicates that the beam intensity is to be turn OFF. 

•Additional bits are needed when color and intensity variations can be displayed.

3) Picture definition(Data about image) is stored in a memory area called the refresh buffer or frame buffer. 

4)This memory area holds the set of intensity values for all the screen points. Stored intensity values are then retrieved from the refresh buffer and "painted" on the screen one 
row (scan line) at a time.

5) PIXEL: Each screen point is referred to as a pixel or pel (shortened forms of picture element).

6) So in Raster scan Display, screen is divided into grid that is rows and columns and here electron beam scan the screen line by line from left-right and top-bottom to print the output.

7) I know you might be little confused in both the display techniques, don't worry in next post we will see there difference.

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.
