Applications of Computer Graphics

Computer graphics is the part of computer science that studies methods for manipulating visual content although computer graphics deals with 3D graphics, 2D graphics, and image processing. It also deals with the creation, manipulation, and storage of different types of images and objects. There are some of the applications of computer graphics are described below.:

• Computer Art: Using computer graphics we can create fine and commercial art which includes animation packages, and paint packages. These packages provide facilities for designing object shapes and specifying object motion. Cartoon drawings, paintings, and logo designs can also be done.

• Computer-Aidedautomobiles Drawing: Designing buildings, automobiles, and aircraft is done with the help of computer-aided drawing, this helps in providing minute details to the drawing and producing more accurate and sharp drawings with better specifications.

• Presentation Graphics: For the preparation of reports or summarising the financial, statistical, mathematical, scientific, and economic data for research reports, and managerial reports, moreover creation of bar graphs, pie charts, and time charts, can be done using the tools present in computer graphics.

• Entertainment: Computer graphics find a major part of its utility in the movie industry and game industry. Used for creating motion pictures, music videos, television shows, and cartoon animation films. In the game industry where focus and interactivity are the key players, computer graphics help in efficiently providing such features.

• Education: Computer-generated models are extremely useful for teaching huge number of concepts and fundamentals in an easy-to-understand and learn manner. Using computer graphics many educational models can be created through which more interest can be generated among the students regarding the subject.

• Training: Specialised systems for training like simulators can be used for training the candidates in a way that can be grasped in a short span of time with better understanding. The creation of training modules using computer graphics is simple and very useful.

• Visualization: Today the need of visualize things have increased drastically, the need of visualization can be seen in many advanced technologies, data visualization helps in finding insights into the data, to check and study the behavior of processes around us we need appropriate visualization which can be achieved through proper usage of computer graphics.

• Image Processing: Various kinds of photographs or images require editing in order to be used in different places. Processing of existing images into refined ones for better interpretation is one of the many applications of computer graphics.

• Machine Drawing: Computer graphics are very frequently used for designing, modifying, and creating various parts of a machine and the whole machine itself, the main reason behind using computer graphics for this purpose is the precision and clarity we get from such drawing is ultimate and extremely desired for the safe manufacturing of machine using these drawings.

• Graphical User Interface: The use of pictures, images, icons, pop-up menus, and graphical objects helps in creating a user-friendly environment where working is easy and pleasant, using computer graphics we can create such an atmosphere where everything can be automated and anyone can get the desired action performed in an easy fashion.

These are some of the applications of computer graphics due to which it's popularity has increased to a huge extend and will keep on increasing with the progress in technology.

Example of Computer Graphics Packages:

• LOGO
• COREL DRAW
• AUTO CAD
• 3D STUDIO
• CORE
• GKS (Graphics Kernel System)
• PHIGS
• CAM (Computer Graphics Metafile)
• CGI (Computer Graphics Interface)
