Question 1- 8

As computers have become powerful tools for the rapid and economic production of
pictures, computer graphics has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing fields in computer
science. It is used routinely in such diverse areas as business, industry, art, government,
education, research, training, and medicine.

One of the initial uses of computers graphics, and ultimately its greatest use, has been as
an aid to design, generally, referred to as computer-aided design (CAD). One of its greatest
advantages is that designers can see how an object will look after construction and make
changes freely and much more quickly than with hand drafting. For three- dimensional rendering
of machines parts, engineers now rely heavily on CAD. Automobile, spacecraft, aerospace,
and ship designers use CAD techniques to design vehicles and test their performance. Building
designs are also created with computer graphics systems. Architects can design a building layout
create a three-dimensional model, and even go for a simulated ‘walk’ through the rooms or
around the outside of the building.

Business graphic is another rapidly growing area of computer graphics, where it is used to
create graphs, charts, and cost models to summarize financial, statistical, mathematical,
scientific, and economic data. As an educational aid, computer graphics can be used to create
weather maps and cartographic materials. Computer art also has creative and commercial art
applications, where it is used in advertising, publishing, and film productions, particularly for
computer animation, which is achieved by a sequential process.
