Computer graphics is technology that deals with designs and pictures created on computers. Graphics hardware output devices generate and display computer graphics. These include monitors, which allow users to see images produced by computers in varying quality depending on the monitor's size and resolution, printers, which print computer graphics in color, black and white or grayscale in different sizes, and plotters, which print vector graphics using moving pens or knives. Phosphors in monitors are chosen for their color characteristics and persistence to provide light. Electron guns use electrostatic fields to focus electron beams for applications such as cathode ray tubes in old computer and television monitors.
