Q6. A picture is more worth than thousand words. Justify and explain the
importance of computer graphics in the present scenario? Write about the
first Graphics tool designed (Sketch Pad)?
Answer:
A picture is more worth than thousand words means that a picture can
convey a message or feeling more accurately than words like happiness,
sadness etc. These are the things that cannot be expressed in words.
Sketch Pad:
Sketchpad was the first program ever to utilize a complete graphical user
interface, using an x-y point plotter display and the recently invented light pen.
The clever way the program organized its geometric data pioneered the use of
"objects" and "instances" in computing and pointed forward to object oriented
programming. The main idea was to have master drawings which one could
instantiate into many duplicates.
Q8. CRT is also called as Refresh CRT. Justify the statement and draw the
design of CRT showing the operation of electron gun and also the magnetic
deflection systems. Explain?
Answer:
DIAGRAM
Working.
The Base:
In the base plate there are two input lines set, one is used for power supply
second one is used for data. Base plate receives signals from VGA or Graphical
card through data cable.
Electron Gun:
Control Grid:
Accelerating Anode:
Focusing Anode:
The electron beam is scattered and may repel each other and the beam would
disappeared. So it is the responsibility of focusing system to converge electron
beam to a small spot where it strikes the phosphor.
Deflecting Plates:
Two pairs of deflecting plates are used to deflect the beam of electron to the
viewing area of the screen. Horizontal deflecting plates are used for vertical
adjustment while vertical deflecting plates are used for horizontal adjustment
of electron beam.
Answer:
Working:
An application program is input and stored in the system memory along with a
graphics package. Graphics commands in the application program are
translated by the graphics package into a display file stored in the system
memory. This display file is then accessed by the display processor to refresh
the screen. The display processor cycles through each command in the display
file program onceduring every refresh cycle. Sometimes the display processor
in a random-scan system is referred to as a display processing unit or a
graphics controller.
Q11. Interactive Raster scan displays are able to display shaded scenes very
well than random scan displays. Justify the above statement and explain the
operation of raster scan displays with neat sketch?
Answer:
Video Controller
A fixed area of the system memory is reserved for the frame buffer, and the
video controller is given direct access to the frame buffer memory. The co-
ordinates of the graphics monitor starts at the lower left screen corner.
Positive x values increasing to the right and y values increasing from bottom to
top.
The above diagram shows the refresh operation of video controller. Two
registers are used to store the co-ordinates of the screen pixels. Initially x=0
and y=ymax. The value stored in the frame buffer corresponding to this pixel
position is retrieved. And the x value is incremented by 1 and the
corresponding y value is retrieved, like that the pixel values are retrieved line
by line. Once the last pixel is reached again the registers are reset to initial
value to repeat the process.
Display Processor
The purpose of the display processor or graphics controller is to free the CPU
from the graphics chores. In addition to the system memory a separate display
processor memory area can also provide.
A. The vector displays generally have higher resolution than raster scan
display system. State the reason with explanation for supporting above
statement.
Answer:
B. Disagree because the Random scan display refresh rate is less than the
raster scan display. Raster scan displays refresh rate is 30 to 60 and
above up to 80 fps. While random scan display have refresh rate of 30 to
approximately 60 fps and cannot have greater refresh rate than that
because if the refresh rate became greater than that it will burn out the
phosphor.
Q14. The use of interactive graphical input devices made the computer
highly sophisticated. Write about the following interactive graphical input
devices:
Answer:
i. Data Glove:
Image Scanners:
Light Pen:
Q10. State the reason why we use the following terms in display system and
define each of them.
Answer:
i. Persistence:
iv. Pixel:
v. Pixmap:
vi. Bitmap:
The frame buffer used in the black and white system is known as
bitmap which take one bit per pixel.
The return to the left of the screen, after refreshing eachscan line,
is called the Horizontal retrace of the electron beam.
The return of the electron beam to the top left corner of the
screen after each frame is known as Vertical retrace.
