years in computer graphics: Up to the early 1990’s, it was relatively cumbersome to write graphics software. The standards for graphics software were limited and typically one would code up an algorithm from scratch. Al-though many companies had developed specialized graphics hardware (GPU’s { graphical processing

Computer graphics is the process of creating a visual presentation of an object or scene using a mapping process from the object or data space to the image space. In its most abstract form, it involves deciding what color to set each value in a two-dimensional array which is then output to a screen or printer.
