2. What is CAD
2
“CAD is the Application of graphics software and
computers to enhance to design of part product
model or assemblies from conceptualization to
documentation “.
3. Computer Graphics
3
Now a Days wide range of graphics hardware and
software systems is available .
Graphics capabilities for both two dimensional
and three dimensional applications are common.
we use a wide variety of interactive input deices
and graphics software's
4. Ingredient of Computer
Graphics

Computer graphics deals with all aspects of
creating images with a computer
Hardware
Software
Applications

In this configuration is shown in and hardware
provides the input , computation, storage and
output functions

6. The Design Process
6
The process of designing basically consists of six
identifiable phases or steps.
Recognition of need.
Definition of Problem
Synthesis
Analysis and optimization
Evaluation
Presentation
7. Basic Graphics System

8. CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)
8
Can be used either as a line-drawing device
(calligraphic) or to display contents of frame
buffer (raster mode)

9. Display Processor
9
Rather than have the host computer try to
refresh display use a special purpose computer
called a display processor (DPU)
Graphics stored in display list (display file) on
display processor
Host compiles display list and sends to DPU

13. Video-Display Devices
A raster –scan system displays an object as a set of
discrete points across each scan line.
Fig 8. Raster Scan System
14. Note at the Interlace mechanism of display: display the even lines
in
1/60 of a second and then display the odd lines in next 1/60
seconds.

15. Video-Display Devices
Fig.2-9 A random-scan system draws the component lines of an
object in any order specified.

16. Video-Display Devices
Operation of a delta-delta, shadow-mask CRT. Three electron guns,
aligned with the triangular color-dot patterns on the screen,
are directed to each dot triangle by a shadow mask.
