So!utions to Chapter T"o Questions 1. )ompare the merits and demerits of raster and random scanning system. Ans. -. In raster scan display. the electron 5eam is s ept across the screen. one ro at a time from top to 5ottom. Kandom scan monitors dra a picture one line at a time and so they are also referred to as vector displays. 7. Kefreshing on raster scan display is carried out at the rate of 34 to D4< frames per second. Kefresh rate on a random scan system depends on the num5er of lines to 5e displayed. =. The picture definition is stored in a memory area called refresh 5uffer or frame 5uffer in case of a raster scan display. In case of random scan display. picture definition is stored as a set of line<dra ing commands in an area of memory referred to as the refresh display file. Kefresh display file is also called the display list. display program. or the refresh 5uffer. 2. /efine pi$el. resolution. and aspect ratio. Ans. #i$el can 5e defined as the smallest si:e o59ect or color spot that can 5e displayed and addressed on a monitor.

3. &$plain the principle of dra ing pictures on )KT. Ans. In )KT. an electron gun produces a stream of electrons. This electron 5eam can 5e s itched onBoff through a heating system. The electron 5eam is focused to ards the phosphor coated screen. The point here the 5eam hits the screen 5ecomes phosphorent and produces a speck of light. A pair of focusing grids. focus the 5eam to a particular point on the screen. The grid controls the focusing ith the help of magneticBelectric fields. In this ay a hole picture can 5e dra n 5y illuminating the points on the screen. 4. &$plain 5riefly the orking principle of Shado mask )KT. Ans. The Shado ,ask )KT is 5ased on the principle of com5ining the 5asic colors < red. green and 5lue. The shado mask )KT. instead of using one electron gun. uses three different guns placed ad9acent to each other to form a triangle or a I/eltaI. &ach pi$el point on the screen is made up of three types of phosphors to produce red. 5lue. and green colors. "ust in front of the phosphor screen. is a metal screen. called a Ishado maskI. This plate has holes placed strategically. so that the 5eams from the three electron guns are focused on particular color< producing pi$el only. (o . unlike the 5eam penetration )KTMs. the acceleration of the electron 5eam as 5eing monitored. one can manipulate the intensity of the three 5eams simultaneously. If the red 5eam is made more intense. e get more of red color in the final com5ination etc. Since fine<tuning of the 5eam intensities is comparatively simple. e can get much more com5ination of colors than the 5eam penetration case. 5. &$plain the principle of /;ST system.

The /irect ;ie Storage Tu5e (/;ST) 5ehaves like a )KT ith highly persistent phosphor. #ictures dra n on this screen ill 5e seen for several minutes (E4<F4 minutes) 5efore fading. It is similar to a )KT as far as the electronic gun and phosphor<coated mechanisms are concerned. 8o ever. instead of the electron 5eam directly riting the pictures on the phosphor coated )KT screen. the riting is done ith the help of a fine<mesh ire grid. The grid made of very thin. high >uality ire is located ith a dielectric and is mounted 9ust 5efore the screen on the path of the electron 5eam from the gun. A pattern of positive charges is deposited on the grid and this pattern is transferred to the phosphor coated )KT 5y a continuous flood of electrons. This flood of electrons is mounted 5y a Iflood gunI. hich is separate from the electron gun that produces the main electron 5eam. 6. 0hat are the different graphical input interactive techni>uesC Ans. 1ollo ing are the various graphical input interactive techni>ues! a. 5. c. d. e. f. #ositioning )onstraints *rids *ravity 1ield Ku55er 5and methods /ragging

7. 0hy refreshing is re>uired in )KTC Ans. 0hen an electron 5eam strikes a dot of phosphor material. it glo s for a fraction of a second and then fades. As 5rightness of the dots 5egins to reduce. the screen image 5ecomes unsta5le and gradually fades out. In order to maintain a sta5le image. the electron 5eam must s eep the entire surface of the screen and return to redra it num5er of times per second. That is. the screen must 5e refreshed multiple times in a second. 8. (ame the different positioning devices. Ans. The various positioning devices are!

Ans. A mouse is a small handled 5o$ used to position the screen cursor. It has t o heels at right angles to each other. &ach of these heels is connected to the shaft encode. 1or every
'(IIT )oordinator *uide + *raphics and ,ultimedia 7=
incremental rotation of the heel. an electrical signal is produced 5y the shaft encode. As the device is moved on a flat surface. the movement is coded in the $ and y directions 5y counting the num5er of pulses received from the shaft encoder. These values are held in separate registers and the computer can sample them at a suita5le rate. The device can. therefore. 5e used for a moving cursor around the display screen. 11. &$plain the orking of @ight pen along ith a diagram. Ans. @ight pen has a very simple orking. &very pi$el on the screen that is a part of the picture emits light. All that the light pen does is to make use of this light signal to indicate the position. A small aperture is held against the portion of the picture to 5e modified and the light from the pi$els falls on a photocell. after passing through the aperture. This photocell converts the light signal received from the screen to an electrical pulse to 5e sent as a signal sent to the computer. Since the electrical signal is rather eak. an amplifier amplifies it 5efore 5eing sent to the computer. A Itracking soft areI keeps track of the position of the light pen al ays. Through the use of the tracking soft are. a signal received 5y the light pen at any point indicates the portion of the picture that needs to 5e modified. (ote that .that. hen the pen is 5eing moved to its position. to the position here the modification is re>uired. it. it ill encounter various other light sources on the ay. These light sources should not trigger the computer to accept the signal. So the aperture of the light pen is normally kept closed till the final position is reached. and then it can 5e opened 5y a s itch.

The synta$ of this function is! rectangle(int left. int top. int right. int 5ottom)O To dra a rectangle you must specify the coordinates of its top left and 5ottom right corner points as the four parameters of the rectangle() function. This function creates a rectangle in the specific line style. thickness. and color. hich have 5een set prior to a call made to this function. If these ere not set. the defaults are used. (ote that the 5ar() and rectangle() functions are different. The 5ar() function creates a rectangular shape ithout 5oundary and fills it in the current fill pattern and color. ?n the other hand. rectangle() creates a rectangular 5oundary in the current color and pattern. 0hile dra ing shapes in ) programs. it is important to understand the screen coordinate system and the meaning of the parameters that specify the coordinate points of these shapes.

Sound is in the form of analog signals. 0hen these analog signals are digiti:ed for use on computers. the sound aveforms is measured or sampled at specific intervals. The num5er of samples taken per second is the sampling rate. Informally. you could compare a sample to a frame in an animation or video. The more the num5er of frames. the smoother is the animation or video. Similarly. the higher the sampling rate. the 5etter is the >uality of digiti:ed sound.

Important Scanner Characteristics for Digital Imaging The resolution (dpi) of a scanner is a crucial characteristic to 5e considered during digital imaging. Apart from resolution other important characteristics to 5e considered during digital imaging are!
'it depth! Bit depth is the num5er of 5its per pi$el. Bits contain color information. Therefore. the num5er of 5its defining a pi$el in an image. affects the >uality of the GrealismG of the digital image as compared to the original image. This is actually 5ecause the tones in an image depend on 5it depth. An image ith 5it depth of - ill 5e a5le to represent 7- Q 7 tones (5lack and hite). An image ith more 5it depth can represent more num5er of tones. 1or e$ample. images ith 5it depth 7E. can represent over -3 million tones. 0ith the popularity of digital imaging. modern scanners are supporting higher 5it depths. 1or e$ample. most good 8# scanners no support ED< 5it depth. "ynamic ran!e! /ynamic range is the ratio of the 5rightest signal to the darkest signal that a scanner can detect and represent it in the digital image.

$en ,ool in $hotoshop #ersion / An important graphics creation and tracing tool in #hotoshop is the #en tool. #en tool ena5les creation of vector illustration through lines and curves. Using the #en tool you can create your o n illustrations. Unlike a #encil tool. a #en tool does not merely create an outlineO it creates the outline of an illustration as a path. hich can 5e edited during creation or even after creation. #erform the follo ing steps to create a face of a person using the #en tool! -. ?pen a ne image in #hotoshop. 7. )lick the #en tool icon. in the tool5o$. (o . place the mouse cursor in the image area. =. )lick at any point in the 5lank canvas from here you ant to start creating the illustration. A point ill appear on the canvas. This point is called an anchor point or a node. E. )lick at another location in the canvas to connect the anchor point created in Step = to the ne point. A line ill 5e created 5et een the t o anchor points as sho n in the follo ing figure!

Apart from the )onvert Anchor #oint tool under the #en tool. t o other useful options are Add Anchor #oint Tool and /elete Anchor #oint Tool. 6ou can select the Add Anchor point tool to add an anchor point at any location in a path. 6ou can then use the handles of this anchor point. to modify the shape of the path at that point. Similarly. you can delete an anchor point in a path using the /elete Anchor #oint tool. These t o tools along ith the )onvert Anchor #oint tool can 5e used to impart a smooth shape to an illustration. Creating Custom Filters in $hotoshop Apart from the filter effects availa5le in #hotoshopGs 1ilter menu. you can also create your o n custom filter for applying on images. Using a custom filter. you can change the 5rightness value of each pi$el in the image according to a predefined mathematical operation kno n as convolution. )onvolution is an integral 5ased mathematical operation 5et een t o functions. hich is often said to G5lendG the functions. As a result of the application of convolution each pi$el in an image on hich a custom filter is applied is reassigned a value 5ased on the values of surrounding pi$els.
