Computer Graphics is concerned with generation , representation ,manipulation and display of pictures – using computerComputer Graphics is divided to three areas:- (1).Generative Graphics-Creation of 2D & 3D pictures from Mathematical rep of objects Eg: Graphs & pictures, Animations , CAD etc
INTRODUCTION
(2) .Cognitive Graphics – deals with Algorithms to Gen & Classify pictures Eg:Classification of thumb prints, faces, photos etc
(3). Image Processing–Cleaning up blurred images & Generating clear pictures.
Eg: processing blurred picts and genr clear picts
• We will deal with HW/SW aspects of generative graphics :-
Display devices…• Most common device –Cathode ray
tube(CRT)• Consists of an evacuated glass tube
enclosing a source of electrons ,an electrode to accelerate the electrons, a focusing system to narrow the
beam, horizontal & vertical deflection system and a phosphor coated screen
Simplified diagram of a CRT
Colour Displays
Uses shadow mask technique Inside CRT’s viewing surface is coated with three different phosphors The three phosphors are coated as patterns of three dots or triads over the entire screen. Each of the three phosphors emits a differentcolour, red, green & blue (RGB) when beam hitsThe dots are so near & the colours merge into one and so different colours are obtained .
Shadow mask colour CRT
The individual phosphors in the triads are independently struck by three beam of electrons
The three beams are also arranged as a triad
and are deflected synchronously and focused
A shadow mask, is placed in front of the tube
surface .
• The mask has one small hole aligned at each triad position on the screen
• By controlling the acceleration voltages intensity of the beams are changed to produce , a range of colours .
• The number of lines varies from 480 to 1000 depending upon the cost of the VDU
Overview of Display method• A graphic Picture is written to draw the picture using the primitives of graphic
language or using functions in a language like C. The primitives are to draw - a point, a
line, circle, arc, ellipse, etc Eg: To draw the picture as shown below, one may write graphic instructions as
follows :-
Display method Contd…
• Draw_poly(x0,y0;x1,y1;x2,y2;x3,y3;x4,y4)• Draw_line(x1,y1;x2,y2)• Draw_line(x2,y2;x3,y3)• Draw_circle(x5,y5;R)• The values x1,y1,..,R etc will be given in coordinate system by the user ,,, and picture
will be drawn as shown …
Almost all current displays are raster scan displays.
In these the electron beam of the CRT sweeps from the left to right of the screen ,returns to the next line and the process repeated to cover the entire screen.
The beam produces a flicker free display.
There is another type of display called Random Scan display :--
in which points are plotted by
applying appropriate voltages to X & Y
deflection systems of a CRT, similar to
drawing in a plotter.
This is very expensive compared to raster scan system and is not in extensive use now .
Principle of a raster scan Display
Scan converted picture to a set of pixels
• Interactive Graphics –
• consists of a Display Unit, A Display file memory, Display Processing Unit & a GUI input unit
• Cathode Ray Tube – Similar to Home TV to display computer generated pictures Pictures should be repeatedly displayed 30 to 60 times per second-for a flicker free
picture. Block schematics is shown below..

Types of displays…• Colour CRT• Direct View Storage Tubes ( DVST)• Flat Panel Displays• Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD)
Graphics Standards
• ISO (International Standards Orgn) • ANSI (American National Standards Institute)• PHIGS (The Programmer’s Hierarchical • Interactive Graphics Package)• GKS (Graphical Kernel Systems ) – is both an
ISO & ANSI standard)
Applications of computer Graphics• Computer is an essential and powerful
tool for effective & economical presentation of pictures
• Computer Graphics-Wide usage /applications
Engg, Medicine, business,industry, Gvt, art, cinema advertisement, education etc
Typical Applications/Uses• Computer Aided Design(CAD)-used for
product design , building, Automobiles , aircraft, space craft, testing, PCB’s etc
• Animations/simulations – before actual production
• CAD/CAM-manufacturing items after design
• Presentation Graphics- Produce illustration for reports,
transparancies/films for projection • Statistical,scientific,mathematical data
presetn• Multidimensional graphics,pie chart, bar
chart..• Computer art- for fine arts /commercial
applications• Simulators- flight/ship /automobile
simulators…
• Entertainment-making motion pictures,videos, television ….
• Education/training- teaching s/w packages
• Simulators- flight/ship /automobile simulators
• Image processing – To modify or interpret existing pictures/images to improve picture quality and for medical applns
• Tomography-a technique of X-ray photography that allows cross sectional views of systems
• Visualization –Analyze huge data and study behavior of systems/processes
Graphics and Multimedia Lab Cycle 1• Implement Line drawing using DDA• Implement Line Using Bresenham’s
