Study Notes
Introduction to Computer Graphics and Interactive Graphics
- Interactive computer graphics allow users to have control over the picture and make changes to the produced image.
- It requires two-way communication between the computer and the user.
- Advantages of interactive graphics include:
- Higher quality
- More precise results
- Greater productivity
- Lower analysis and design cost
- Enhances ability to understand data and perceive trends
Applications of Computer Graphics
- Computer graphics is widely used in various areas, including:
- Industry
- Business
- Government organizations
- Education
- Entertainment
- Home
- Computer graphics is used to create 2D and 3D graphics of mathematical, physical, and economic functions in the form of histograms, bars, and pie charts.
- These graphs and charts are useful for decision making.
Conceptual Framework for Interactive Graphics
- The conceptual framework consists of:
- Graphics Library
- Application Program
- Graphics System
- Modifications to images are the result of user interaction.
Scan Converting a Straight Line
- A straight line can be defined by two endpoints and an equation.
- The equation of the line is used to determine the x, y coordinates of all the points that lie between the two endpoints.
- The algorithm for drawing a line using the equation is:
- Declare variables x1, x2, y1, y2, dx, dy, m, b
- Enter values of x1, x2, y1, y2
- Calculate dx = x2 - x1
- Calculate dy = y2 - y1
- Calculate m = dy / dx
- Calculate b = y1 - mx1
- Scan-convert the calculated x, y values to represent the line as a sequence of pixels.
