	2D computer graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 method—a procedure which assigns colors to the image pixels by an arbitrary algorithm.
		These editors generally output graphics files where the layers and primitives are separately preserved in their original form.

	Vector graphics editor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A vector graphics editor is a computer program that allows users to compose and edit vector graphics images interactively on the computer screen (compare with MetaPost) and save them in one of many popular vector graphics formats such as EPS, PDF, WMF or SVG.
		Vector editors are often contrasted with bitmap editors, and their capabilities complement each other.
		Finally, 3D computer graphics software such as Maya or Blender can also be thought of as an extension of the traditional 2D vector editors, and they share some common concepts and tools.

		The graphics engine then takes care of all the low-level tasks, including updating the window in case of an expose event, and refreshing the display if the position, size, or graphic properties of the object change.
		ILOG Views 2D Graphics also provides view interactors to assign behaviors to all the graphic objects in a view.
		Simple 2D graphics applications often exhibit poor performance when many objects are involved: slow interaction, high CPU usage, screen flickering.

	Software Farm: Creating graphics, user interface and diagramming tools, frameworks and applications in Java(tm)
		Graphics shapes and user interface widgets can be connected together with first-class connection objects into any number of directed or undirected (network) graphs.
		The sizes and locations of graphics shapes and user interface independent widgets are specified in device-resolution-independent floating point coordinates and so have the same appearance and relative size regardless of the size or dots-per-inch of the particular screen or printer used for display.
		Graphics shapes and user interface widgets share the same coordinate space, the same API and are of the same basic type.

		Graphics considered here are simple schematic 2D drawings for which there is a strong need on the Web.
		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.

		Although computing began in a text-based environment, the need for graphical visualization of data was always real and achieved great satisfaction with the advent of GUI systems.
		Matters of appearance depend entirely on the runtime context of the computer, such as whether the interface is graphical or console-based, what the native language is, and so on.
		The main thing is that we would need to standardize the definition of type editors, and not hardwire which ones are available to work on a type or datum.

		Moreover, Quartz 2D is a single part in a larger graphics architecture on Mac OS X. This architecture was designed from its inception to take advantage of advances in the graphics hardware of modern personal computers.
		At the time of its introduction, the system’s ability to repurpose graphics on a broad number of printers with very different capabilities was a clarion call for the graphics industry.
		Instead of erasing graphics, in Quartz 2D you create a mask, or clipping area, and draw the graphics you want the user to see relying on the mask to remove parts of the image you don’t want to display.
