Application of Computer Graphics:

Computer graphics are very useful. Today almost every computer can do some graphics, and people have even come to expect to control their computer through icons and pictures rather than just by typing.

Computer-generated imagery is used for movie making, video game and computer program development, scientific modeling, and design for catalogs and other commercial art. Some people even make computer graphics as art. We can classify applications of computer graphics into four main areas:

  • Display of information
  • Design
  • User interfaces
  • Simulation

According to these four areas there are several types of applications which are used in today’s world. These are:

  1. Computer-Aided Design for engineering and architectural systems etc.

    Objects maybe displayed in a wireframe outline form. Multi-window environment is also favored for producing various zooming scales and views.

    Animations are useful for testing performance.

  2. Presentation Graphics

    To produce illustrations which summarize various kinds of data. Except 2D, 3D graphics are good tools for reporting more complex data.

  3. Computer Art

    Painting packages are available. With cordless, pressure-sensitive stylus, artists can produce electronic paintings which simulate different brush strokes, brush widths, and colors. Photorealistic techniques, morphing and animations are very useful in commercial art. For films, 24 frames per second are required. For video monitor, 30 frames per second are required.

  4. Entertainment

    Motion pictures, Music videos, and TV shows, Computer games

  5. Education and Training

    Training with computer-generated models of specialized systems such as the training of ship captains and aircraft pilots.

  6. Visualization

    For analyzing scientific, engineering, medical and business data or behavior. Converting data to visual form can help to understand mass volume of data very efficiently.

  7. Image Processing

    Image processing is to apply techniques to modify or interpret existing pictures. It is widely used in medical applications.

  8. Graphical User Interface

    Multiple window, icons, menus allow a computer setup to be utilized more efficiently.
