✅What is Computer Graphics?
Computer Graphics is a branch of computer science that deals with creating, storing, manipulating, and displaying images, pictures, animations, and visual objects using computers.
It is used to convert data into visual form so that people can easily understand information.
๐ Examples:
Video games, movies (VFX), mobile apps, medical imaging, CAD designs, charts, and animations.
✅ Types of Computer Graphics (with Discussion)
Computer Graphics is mainly of two types:
1. Raster Graphics (Bitmap Graphics)
Raster graphics are made up of tiny dots called pixels arranged in rows and columns.
๐น Characteristics:
Image is stored as a grid of pixels
Quality depends on resolution
Enlarging image reduces quality (becomes blurry)
๐น Examples:
Photos
Scanned images
JPG, PNG, BMP files
๐น Uses:
Digital photography
Web images
Image editing (Photoshop)
2. Vector Graphics
Vector graphics are created using mathematical formulas, lines, curves, and shapes instead of pixels.
๐น Characteristics:
Can be resized without losing quality
Smaller file size for simple images
Based on objects (line, circle, rectangle)
๐น Examples:
Logos
Diagrams
SVG, AI, CDR files
๐น Uses:
Logo design
Engineering drawings
Animations
✅ Other Classification (Sometimes Asked in Exams)
3. 2D Graphics
Flat images with only length and width
Example: charts, drawings, cartoons
4. 3D Graphics
Images with length, width, and depth
Looks realistic
Example: movies, games, simulations
