	2D Graphics Web Design \| 2D Graphics \| web site company
		2D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital imagesâ€”mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them.
		2D graphics models may combine geometric models (also called vector graphics), digital images (also called raster graphics), text to be typeset (defined by content, font style and size, color, position, and orientation), mathematical functions and equations, and more.
		In object oriented graphics, the image is described indirectly by an object endowed with a self-rendering methodâ€”a procedure which assigns colors to the image pixels by an arbitrary algorithm.

	[No title]
		2D computer graphics typically do not involve the need for any kind of three-dimensional internal representation of objects or lighting characteristics in the computer; that field is customarily reserved for 3D computer graphics.
		In 2D computer graphics, the computer screen may be considered as a canvas on which an image is drawn or composed.
		Several techniques exist for rendering 2D graphics on a computer screen; these may be broadly categorized into raster graphics, in which a rectangular array of pixels is drawn to the screen, and vector graphics, in which images are composed of mathematical representations of lines, curves, and other geometric shapes.

	3D computer graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		3D computer graphics are different from 2D computer graphics in that a three-dimensional representation of geometric data is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering 2D images.
		In general, the art of 3D modeling, which prepares geometric data for 3D computer graphics is akin to sculpting or photography, while the art of 2D graphics is analogous to painting.
		In computer graphics software, this distinction is occasionally blurred; some 2D applications use 3D techniques to achieve certain effects such as lighting, while some primarily 3D applications make use of 2D visual techniques.

		The subject of this chapter is the use of Java 2D for graphics and text.
		The key to using Java 2D for graphics is to understand a simple basic programming paradigm that we will refer to as the Basic Java 2D Recipe.
		Step 2 of the recipe, setting the graphics context, is also pretty straightforward once you understand what a graphics context is. For now, let's say that the graphics context is a collection of properties (also known as state attributes) that affect the appearance of the graphics output.

	XML 2000 Program: Web Graphics
		Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is the emerging W3C language for rich 2D graphics expressed in XML for use in Web browsers.
		Content and Process aware graphics systems not only display graphics beautifully, but they also allow the graph or diagram displayed to have self-knowledge about their appearance and also their meaning.
		Graphical items, such as business bar-charts, are able to respond to click-based redraw requests and redisplay themselves as pie-charts, or to redraw themselves according to a different scale (without reprogramming or resorting to a spreadsheet or other program), or merging two different graphs into one graph and making an explicit graph of their differences.

	First Use Of Pre-Rendered 2D Raster Graphics To Simulate 3D Graphics - GameInnovation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This allowed the scene backgrounds to be composed of simple "jigsaw puzzles" of possible 2D backdrops corresponding to the set of corridors visible down the hallway.
		Techniques for emulating 3D with 2D technology bridged the gap into the full-3D gaming era by allowing developers to experiment with the first-person (and third-person 3D) points of view.
		Wolfenstein 3D is an example of a further evolutionary step, utilizing a hybrid of 3D transformations and texture-mapping for the environment's walls (which are still constrained to a grid) and 2D sprites for actors and objects (using scaling to allow for smooth perspective distortions).

	Buying a graphics card - 2D graphics cards
		If you are starting from scratch building a computer (which you probably will be otherwise your computer will have a 2D card already in it) you are in a good position for buying a 2D card because you can go for the onboard option.
		The main reason that people don't go for the 3D option for a few extra quid is that they cant afford to, that's why this option is one of the the best ways to go if you are looking at a cheap system.
		You can get AGP (Advanced Graphics Port) or PCI (Peripheral Computer Interface) AGP cards are in a faster port but to be honest there will be little difference between the two in these types of cards.

	2D structured graphics in Amaya
		An experiment has been done in Amaya to explore the advantages of integrating seamlessly vector graphics in HTML documents and to design a new format for 2D graphics.
		As graphics objects are intended to be embedded in HTML documents, it was interesting to try using CSS for expressing style in graphics.
		The first approach is best suited to graphics created with easy-to-use editors: the user creates objects with a menu or a palette and, using the mouse, she specifies their position and size.

	Java 2D imaging for the Standard Widget Toolkit
		Java 2D is a powerful API that was introduced with JDK 1.2 It allows Java developers to employ complex 2D transformations (translations, rotations, scaling, shearing, etc.) when painting on an AWT component.
		Unfortunately, Java 2D is designed to be used exclusively with the AWT or Swing toolkits, and SWT doesn't yet provide such extended 2D capabilities.
		When all Java 2D paint operations have been done, the pixels of the painted region have to be transferred from the AWT to the SWT offscreen image, and then painted on the SWT or Draw2D graphics context.

	O'Reilly Network -- Introduction to Quartz 2D for QuickDraw Programmers
		Quartz 2D is a key component of the Core Graphics architecture of Mac OS X, and is the modern technology in the system whose functionality most closely matches that of QuickDraw.
		For this reason, the unit defined for the coordinate axes in Quartz 2D is the point that is defined to be exactly 1/72 of an inch (or to put it another way, there are 72 points per inch).
		Currently, however, when Quartz creates a graphics context that is attached to a pixel context, the context is set up so that one unit of user space corresponds to one pixel in the output pixel map.

	OpenVG library does 2D vector graphics with 3D hardware
		According to Mazatech, the AmanithVG graphics library implements the OpenVG specifications "entirely on top of" a pair of open standard 3D graphics APIs -- OpenGL 1.1 to 2.0, using extensions where available; and OpenGL ES (embedded subset) 1.1 and 2.0.
		The company claims that the use of 3D hardware to accelerate 2D graphics can produce quality comparable to software rasterizers, while achieving speeds many times faster or, in embedded systems, using far fewer processor cycles.
		It defines a low-level API for vector graphics libraries, such as those associated with Macromedia Flash, or the W3C's SVG (scalable vector graphics) specification.
