COMPUTER GRAPHICS & Design

Computer graphics are pictures altered or processed by computers.

They can be divided into two groups: bitmapped graphics and vector graphics.

The first type represent images that are stored as pixels. The resolution, that is the density of dots influences how sharp
the image is.

The latter type of computer graphics is called vector graphics. These are images as mathematical formulae. As opposed to
bitmapped graphics they can be changed without any distortion.

There are several types of graphics software.

10.By means of image manipulation programs you can scan a picture into your PC or transfer a photo from your
camera and then manipulate it with different filters, or effects.
11.Illustration packages or in other words, painting and drawing programs enable you to create freehand writing, with
pens and brushes, with colours and patterns.
12.Business graphics programs, also called presentation software makes it possible to create pie charts, bar charts,
line graphs, slide shows.You can import data from a database or spreadsheet programs.
13.CAD, aka computer- aided design is used by engineers and architects. Firts they create a wireframe, then fill in the
surface. Finally they render the design to look realistic.
14.DTP, in other words desktop publishing lets you import texts, ready-made pictures from graphics packages, and
images from scanners or cameras and arrange them all on a page, all this in the farmework of a layout program.
15.Digital art, or computer art uses mathematical formulae to create beautiful bright shapes, called fractals. Fractals
can model real objects like clouds, coatlines or landscapes.
16.Computer animation uses graphics programs to create moving pictures.
17.In the sequence of images each image is called „frame”.
18. Geographic information systems, abbreviated as GIS is used by cartographers to create detailed maps.
