Computer Graphics





"Computer graphics are graphics created using computers and the representation of image data by a computer specifically with help from specialized graphic hardware and software.The interaction and understanding of computers and interpretation of data has been made easier because of computer graphics. Computer graphic development has had a significant impact on many types of media and have revolutionized animation, movies and the video game industry."(Wikipedia).

Since almost everything in a computer is not text or sound, the term computer graphics has been used a lot in the computer field especially in computer science. There are several different things in computer graphic:

1) the representation and implementation of image date
2) the technology to create or use of the images
3) the sub-field in computer science which studies for digital image

the term computer graphic was published in 1960 by William Fetter who is a computer designer. Also in 1961, a student in MIT created the first video game based on this idea.

Today, computer graphic major is very popular and important because most of applications in computers are based on graphic.
There are many image types:
a) two-dimentional
b) pixel art
c) vector graphics
d) three-demensional
e) computer animation

  1. Hey Tho,
    You wrote an interesting post on computer graphics. You started off with a good definition and then tried to elaborate on what is in a computer graphic and what types of images are used. However, your post left me wanting so much more. I think you could have really elaborated and explained so much more about computer graphics. I really liked your first picture. I also wish you had included the sources to where you got your information so I could at least learn more through them since I did not get enough from you.

  2. Hello Tho,

    You had a very interesting view on computer graphics and I felt that I learned something useful today. I could see that you had a concrete definition about the topic and then you started by giving examples. This is exactly what I would like to see in a good blog because your supporting your claims with evidence. Keep up the good work and I will continue reading your blogs!

  3. You are correct in what you have discussed about Computer Graphics and the many areas they have developed. It would be nice for you to have gone into more detail on these. You provide a good list, it would have been nice to hear your opinion on how computer graphics are used for them.

  4. Hi Tho,
    Nice post! You started this blog with a reference which is a good definition of computer graphic (I used it on my blog as well). It is a good start. In the body, you provided two comprehensive lists. But it will be better if you explode each point. However, good job on posting!

  6. This is a great overview on the different kinds of graphics. I would have liked to learn more about the differences in the different image types. Certain images are better suited for different purposes. For example, vector images are defined by equations so can be resized without appearing pixelated.
