	Graphics Encyclopedia
		In computer graphics there are two types of graphics: Raster, where each pixel is separately defined (as in a digital photograph), and vector, where mathematical formula are used to draw lines (eg 'take two points and draw a parabole between them'), which are then interpreted at the 'receiving end' to produce the graphic.
		In computing, graphics are used as an interface for the user; and graphics is one of the five key elements of multimedia technology.
		Graphics are heavily used in education in textbooks for subjects such as geography, science and math to illustrate theories and concepts.

	Sprite (computer graphics) - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into a larger scene.
		Sprites were originally invented as a method of quickly compositing several images together in two-dimensional video games using special hardware.
		Software sprites were used to refer to subroutines that used bit blitting to accomplish the same goal on systems such as the Atari ST and the Apple II whose graphics hardware had no sprite capability.

	flash.display.Sprite (Flex™ 2 Language Reference)
		Sprite is an appropriate base class for objects that do not require timelines.
		Specifies the display object over which the sprite is being dragged, or on which the sprite was dropped.
		The sprite designated as the hit area does not need to be visible; its graphical shape, although not visible, is still detected as the hit area.

	Computer animation: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In 2D computer animation moving objects are often referred to as “sprites”.
		A sprite is a small image that has a location associated with it.
		Modern (2001) computer animation uses sophisticated mathematics to manipulate complex three dimensional polygons, apply “textures”, lighting and other effects to the polygons, finally rendering the complete image.

	Sprite (computer graphics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As computer performance improved, this optimization became unnecessary and the term evolved to refer specifically to the two dimensional images themselves that were integrated into a scene.
		The term "sprite" is often confused with low resolution 2D graphics drawn on a computer, also known as pixel art.
		No sprite engine was implemented which would not cache the sprites texels, but use a FIFO at the pixel-output instead.

	Graphics Jargon
		(1) In computer graphics, the process by which smooth curves and other lines become jagged because the resolution of the graphics device or file is not high enough to represent a smooth curve.
		Computer imaging is a wide field that includes digital photography, scanning, and composition and manipulation of bit-mapped graphics.
		The difference between vector graphics and raster graphics, therefore, is that vector graphics are not translated into bit maps until the last possible moment, after all sizes and resolutions have been specified.

	COMPANY INFORMATION
		Sprite Animation Studios was founded in Honolulu, Hawaii in June 2002 as Sprite Entertainment.
		In computer graphics however, sprite refers to a partially transparent two dimensional animation that is mapped onto a special plane in a three dimensional scene, creating an effective illusion.
		In many cases, sprite is used to depict phenomena such as fire, smoke, small objects, small plants or special symbols.

		Each sprite graphic is stored in the WAD file in Doom's picture format.

		Sprites are the content (including text, graphics, and other media elements) plus the graphical container (including the navigation, logos, and other interface material).
		On the Internet, the most common form of a sprite is a weblog, or blog, or another content management system in which there is a graphical container, sometimes called a template or skin, to which a user adds content.
		Sprites and sprite creation tools are fast becoming the standard for web publication.

	What is a sprite? And pixel art?
		The sprites may be "edits" from existing sprites, or they may be made from scratch.
		Oftentimes these sprites are in the form of actual video game characters, whether from 3D games with no sprites, or merely new versions of an already 2D character.
		"Sprite ripping is the term used for copying certain Sprites from a game and then pasting groups of sprites to a sprite sheet.

	Computer Graphics Tools
		Machine Vision has many connections and tools in common with computer graphics, although it's about almost the exact opposite problem: rather than generating images on a screen for humans to see, machine vision is about taking images and trying to teach a computer to "see".
		Computer graphics tools intended to be used by doctrors, engineers, mathematicians, etc. to look into large data sets to "see" new insights.
		These books on computer graphics are gnerally about "how to write software that generates computer graphics" or "how to write software that can read and write computer graphics files", not "how to draw art using your computer".

		This ASCII code changed between computers, and that is one of the reasons it was never permanently part of the ASCII code.
		How computers would make graphics out of this is by placing these characters in different parts of the scene, and by making them different colors.
		Sprites are basic 2D dimensional images, and by the use of layering, complex graphics can be made.

		But Sprite owner's soon longed for performance options and both BMC and The Healey Company quickly obliged with braking, handling and tuning options.
		Though some feel the design shows evidence of the separate efforts and consequently lacks the charms of the first Sprite, many of todays owners are just as attached to their "square bodies" as the those who own Bugeyes.
		By 1970 the Sprite was now an Austin Sprite as the agreement by the now-defunct BMC and the Donald Healey Motor Co. had expired.

		Unlike its predecessors, which used an engine based on 2D dimetric projection and sprites, SimCity 4 primarily uses a 3D engine to render its graphics.
		For the original release, some users complained that the system requirements were prohibitively high, and that the game ran slowly on relatively powerful computers, sometimes even crashing when building a large city.
		The suite consists of three applications: The Building Architect gamepack for Gmax, which enabled users to render Gmax models into SC4 sprites or props to be imported into the LE; an updated version of the LE; and the Plug-in Manager, which enables users to modify simulation properties for the lots.
