Describe the development of hardware and software of computer graphics.
Answers
Computer graphics are pictures and films created using computers. Usually, the term refers to computer-generated image data created with help of specialized graphical hardware and software. It is a vast and recently developed area of computer science. The phrase was coined in 1960, by computer graphics researchers Verne Hudson and William Fetter of Boeing. It is often abbreviated as CG, though sometimes erroneously referred to as computer-generated imagery (CGI).
Answer:
Output is the term denoting either an exit or changes which exit a system and which activate/modify a process. It is an abstract concept, used in the modeling, system(s) design and system(s) exploitation.
Pictures created and manipulated through the use of computer devices. The term computer graphics generally pertains to any computer device or program that makes a computer capable of displaying and manipulating pictures. For example: a laser printer is said to be a computer graphics device because it allows the computer to output pictures; likewise, a computer display monitor can display pictures. Computer graphics are used for various applications including publishing, education, entertainment, and advertising, or wherever pictures are deemed reasonable or necessary in the creation of a message. They are also used very effectively in situations where there is a need for computed data to be visualized, such as in statistical charts or graphs of mathematical data. Most computer graphics can also be drawn by an artist, but the computer can accomplish much more in a much shorter period of time. One of the major benefits of computer graphics is that images can be manipulated with relative ease and that a multitude of visual effects are possible because the images can be played with over and over again until a desired effect is achieved.
A general purpose computer has four main components: the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), the control unit, the memory, and the input and output devices (collectively termed I/O). These parts are interconnected by busses, often made of groups of wires.
