	Computer graphics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer graphics (CG) is the field of visual computing, where one utilizes computers both to generate visual images synthetically and to integrate or alter visual and spatial information sampled from the real world.
		Perhaps the first use of computer graphics specifically to illustrate computer graphics was in Futureworld (1976), which included an animation of a human face and hand--produced by Ed Catmull and Fred Parke at the University of Utah.
		Raster graphics is a uniform 2-dimensional grid of pixels.

	What is Computer Graphics?
		Today almost every computer can do some graphics, and people have even come to expect to control their computer through icons and pictures rather than just by typing.
		We want images on computers to not just look more realistic, but also to BE more realistic in their colors, the way objects and rooms are lighted, and the way different materials appear.
		Computer graphics uses several simple object rendering techniques to make models appear three-dimensional.

		He is responsible for the Computer Graphics program in the CSc Department; in that capacity he has introduced several new graphics courses, brought a visiting graphics professor to the Department, and helped attract over $2,500,000 in funding partly to support computer graphics.
		He is also involved in computer graphics as the sponsor and supervisor of student projects in rendering, modeling languages, and high-speed ray tracing.
		The graphics courses are not killer project classes, but many students also enrolled in Compilers or other intense courses end up ignoring the graphics class or spending all their time making wonderful images and animations while ignoring their intense class.
