Study Notes

Interactive graphics enhance user engagement, improve understanding, and facilitate exploration of complex data
Advantages include increased learning, improved decision-making, and enhanced user experience

Representative uses of computer graphics include:
- Entertainment (movies, video games, animation)
- Education (interactive tutorials, simulations)
- Medicine (medical imaging, surgical planning)
- Architecture (building design, visualization)

Hardware development for computer graphics involves:
- Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and specialized chips
- High-performance computing systems
Software development involves:
- Programming languages (e.g., OpenGL, DirectX)
- Graphics libraries and frameworks (e.g., WebGL, Three.js)

Interactive graphics involve real-time rendering, event handling, and user feedback
Framework consists of:
- Input devices (e.g., mouse, keyboard, touch)
- Graphics pipeline (processing, rendering, display)
- Feedback mechanisms (e.g., visual, auditory)

Scan converting lines involves:
- Digitizing lines into pixels
- Using algorithms (e.g., Bresenham's line algorithm) for efficient rendering
Scan converting circles involves:
- Using midpoint circle algorithm for efficient rendering
Scan converting ellipses involves:
- Using midpoint ellipse algorithm for efficient rendering
