indicates a large number of pixels together.
Vector Graphics: In vector graphics,
mathematical formulae are used to draw different types of shapes, lines,
objects, and so on.
Applications
Computer Graphics are used for an aided design for engineering and architectural system- These
are used in electrical automobiles, electro-mechanical, mechanical, electronic
devices. For example gears and bolts.
Computer Art – MS Paint.
Presentation Graphics – It is used
to summarize financial statistical scientific or economic data. For example-
Bar chart, Line chart.
Entertainment- It is used in
