What graphics are and which graphics are betterYou can discuss for hours, one thing remains the same - using a computer as a tool for creating images allows you to quickly and beautifully get the desired result.
Someone likes black and white graphics, someone -color, someone will stop in the middle, and will enjoy shades of gray. With the advent of the computer had to get acquainted with new concepts: raster, vector and fractal graphics.
You will ask why?" Time because it is. Graphics, especially computer, is increasingly used in various fields of human activity.
Bitmap graphics are simple - imageconsists of a matrix of points, each of which has a single characteristic - its color. The quality of such an image is affected by only two parameters - the resolution and the number of colors used in the image. For raster graphics, the loss of quality is typical when the image is enlarged, but you can draw as paints in an album.
But with the fact that such a vector graphics, it is worthto understand in more detail. So, vector graphics is a set of objects represented and stored in a mathematical form. For example, a circle is defined by the coordinates of the center and the size of the radius, a rectangle by the coordinates of opposite corners, a line by the coordinates of the beginning and end of the segment, etc. The object is also characterized by the type of contour line (solid or dashed), the color of the contour line, the fill color, the presence and type of hatching, etc. Each newly created object shields the previous ones, but they do not disappear without a trace, and, if necessary, they can be pulled to the forefront without any losses. What can not be done with a raster image.
Most often vector graphics are used whencarrying out printing works, creating promotional materials. Vector images are well resizable, can be increased without sacrificing image quality. The disadvantage of vector graphics is the rather large size of the source file with graphics, which are usually difficult to compress.
To work with vector graphics, there are a numberspecialized graphics editors, which include, for example, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator and others. Even the drawing panel in Microsoft Word is also an integrated vector graphics editor. But, what is graphics in Word and graphics in specialized software products? That being said, two big differences.
Well, fractal graphics, unlike previous onesspecies does not provide for the storage of image elements in memory. The picture is based on a predetermined mathematical algorithm containing certain equations and formulas. With the help of fractal graphics, you can create very beautiful and complex patterns, which are difficult to achieve in traditional ways.
Now answer the question of whatgraphics and where it can come in handy will not be difficult. Graphics surrounds us every day: in TV, in newspapers, in everyday life, it allows us to color our life, making it more vivid and interesting.
