CHAPTER-1 (Computer Graphics and Multimedia)
1. What is the need for computer graphics?
Answer:
Graphical communication is an old and more popular method of exchanging information than verbal
communication and is more convenient when computers are utilized for this purpose.
As the volume of information increases, problem of storage arises. Also, in the 21st century people do
not have time to read huge number of pages. This problem was solved by computer graphics. This can
be clearly understood with the help of an example where we want to present the performance of a
factory since 1980. For this, we require a number of pages to render this large volume of information
related with financial, numerical and statistical information. It will take a lot of time to analyze such a
long report. We can easily represent this data in a pictorial form thus making it simple to understand.
Pictures can represent a huge database in the form of bar charts, pie charts, and so on.
Two other prominent applications of graphics are in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). In CAD, graphics techniques are used to produce the
drawings of certain parts of a machine from any viewing angle. In CAM computer graphics techniques,
one may display the manufacturing layout for a given part and trace the path taken by machine tools for
a given manufacturing process.
2. Define computer graphics and Interactive computer graphics?
Answer:
Computer graphics can be defined as the use of computers to define, store, manipulate, interrogate, and
present pictorial output of the data.
Interactive computer graphics refers to devices and systems that facilitate the man-machine graphic
communication.

3. Briefly, narrate the history of graphics hardware technology?

Answer:
In early days, the high cost of the hardware for computer graphics remained the obstacle, which
prevented their widespread use. Computers have been getting progressively more inexpensive and it
has become a household article these days. The microelectronics revolution and the subsequent
reduction in the price of the digital hardware have completely changed the situation. Due to this price
reduction, it is now realistic to expect that all computers with graphic display hardware capability will
be making extensive use of computer graphics.
The announcement of the IBM personal computer using 16-bit Intel 8088 microprocessor on August
12, 1981, can be regarded as a historic event, which had a profound effect in the world of computers.
These computers significantly improved the state of display technology in the world of computers.
The next major change in PC display technology was announced by Apple Company in 1984, when it
introduced the Macintosh PC. It was the first PC that did not include a text-based display but provided
only a graphic display. The application programs developed for the Macintosh advocated WYSIWYG
(What You See Is What You Get) style of interface. This concept has become a basic requirement in
the area of desktop publishing (DTP). The PowerPC's from IBM, Apple, and other vendors created a
new standard for DTP computers. With such a development, computer graphics and multimedia has
become a necessity for all types of users.
4. How to make graphics processing faster?
Answer:
Video/Graphic processing can be made faster in two ways: by using a graphic co-processor and a
graphic accelerator. The graphic co-processor boosts video performance by assuming tasks normally
handled by the CPU. An accelerator takes control of graphic task, which are otherwise performed by
the CPU. However, an accelerator is not programmable. It is a functioned processor, which caries out
specific tasks hard-coded into the chip.
5. What is graphics processor? Why it is needed?
Answer:
Graphics processor helps in managing the screen faster with an equivalent software algorithm executed
on the CPU. Through the use of these processors certain amount of parallelism can be achieved for
executing graphic commands. Several manufacturers of personal computers use a proprietary graphics
processor.
6. Name some graphics processors.
Answer:
Some graphics processors are:

Intel 82786
Texas Instruments 43010

7. Justify the statement "Windows OS is so popular"?

Answer:

The Windows OS is popular because it supports a graphical user interface (GUI), in which users can
perform operations with the help of graphical objects such as windows and buttons. Apart from an
intuitive GUI, it supports various other features such as support for integrated application environment,
multitasking, multimedia, and networking.
8. What are the strengths of UNIX operating system?
Answer:
The UNIX operating system has been known and popular as a simple, small, portable, powerful, timesharing operating system. However, now it has also gained commercial strength. It is still the most
portable and configurable of all operating systems. Unix has adopted to the new hardware architecture
and application requirements by incorporating new functionalities such as distributed file system, X11
base GUIs, Multi threading, distributability and so on. UNIX became quite popular within Bell Labs.
9. What is a pixel?
Answer:
Pixel may be defined as the smallest size object or color spot that can be displayed and addressed on a
monitor.
10. Give the different applications of Computer Graphics.
Answer:
Computer graphics is used in every field. Some of the major application areas are:

Building design and construction

Electronic Design
Mechanical Design
Entertainment and Animation
Aerospace industry
Medical Technology
Cartography
Art and Commerce.

11. Name the Computer languages that support Computer Graphics.

Answer:
Some languages that support computer graphics are:

FORTRAN
BASIC
PASCAL
C

12. Why C language is popular for graphics programming?

Answer:
C has become a choice for today's professionals, developers for graphics programming. C is a
structured language and is rich in expressive power and applicable to a wide variety of users. Because
of the rich set of graphical functions available, this language helps in designing for graphical
applications. The C code is small, fast, portable, and flexible.
-------------------CHAPTER-2 (INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS)
1. Compare the merits and demerits of raster and random scanning system.
Answer:
Merits and demerits of raster and random scanning system
In raster scan display, the electron beam is swept across the screen, one row at a time from top to
bottom.Random scan monitors draw a picture one line at a time and so they are also referred to as
vector displays.
Refreshing on raster scan display is carried out at the rate of 60 to 80- frames per second. Refresh rate
on a random scan system depends on the number of lines to be displayed.
The picture definition is stored in a memory area called refresh buffer or frame buffer in case of a raster
scan display. In case of random scan display, picture definition is stored as a set of line-drawing
commands in an area of memory referred to as the refresh display file. Refresh display file is also
called the display list, display program, or the refresh buffer.
2. Define pixel, resolution, and aspect ratio
Answer:
Pixel can be defined as the smallest size object or color spot that can be displayed and addressed on a
monitor.
Image resolution refers to pixel spacing that is the distance from one pixel to the next pixel.
The aspect ratio of the image is the ratio of the number of X pixels to the number of Y pixels. The
standard aspect ratio for PCs is 4:3 and some use 5:4.
3. Explain the principle of drawing pictures on CRT.
Answer:
In CRT, an electron gun produces a stream of electrons. This electron beam can be switched on/off
through a heating system. The electron beam is focused towards the phosphor coated screen. The point
where the beam hits the screen becomes phosphorent and produces a speck of light. A pair of focusing
grids focuses the beam to a particular point on the screen. The grid controls the focusing with the help
of magnetic/electric fields. In this way a whole picture can be drawn by illuminating the points on the
screen.
4. Explain briefly the working principle of Shadow mask CRT.
Answer:
The Shadow Mask CRT is based on the principle of combining the basic colors - red, green and blue.
The shadow mask CRT, instead of using one electron gun, uses three different guns placed adjacent to
each other to form a triangle or a "Delta". Each pixel point on the screen is made up of three types of
phosphors to produce red, blue, and green colors. Just in front of the phosphor screen, is a metal screen,

called a "shadow mask". This plate has holes placed strategically, so that the beams from the three
electron guns are focused on particular color- producing pixel only.
Now, unlike the beam penetration CRTs, the acceleration of the electron beam was being monitored,
one can manipulate the intensity of the three beams simultaneously. If the red beam is made more
intense, we get more of red color in the final combination etc. Since fine-tuning of the beam intensities
is comparatively simple, we can get much more combination of colors than the beam penetration case.
5. Explain the principle of DVST system.
Answer:
The Direct View Storage Tube (DVST) behaves like a CRT with highly persistent phosphor. Pictures
drawn on this screen will be seen for several minutes (40-50 minutes) before fading. It is similar to a
CRT as far as the electronic gun and phosphor-coated mechanisms are concerned. However, instead of
the electron beam directly writing the pictures on the phosphor coated CRT screen, the writing is done
with the help of a fine-mesh wire grid. The grid made of very thin, high quality wire is located with a
dielectric and is mounted just before the screen on the path of the electron beam from the gun. A
pattern of positive charges is deposited on the grid and this pattern is transferred to the phosphor coated
CRT by a continuous flood of electrons. This flood of electrons is mounted by a "flood gun", which is
separate from the electron gun that produces the main electron beam.
6. What are the different graphical input interactive techniques?
Answer:
Following are the various graphical input interactive techniques:

Positioning
Constraints
Grids
Gravity Field
Rubber band methods
Dragging

7. Why refreshing is required in CRT?

Answer:
When an electron beam strikes a dot of phosphor material, it glows for a fraction of a second and then
fades. As brightness of the dots begins to reduce, the screen image becomes unstable and gradually
fades out. In order to maintain a stable image, the electron beam must sweep the entire surface of the
screen and return to redraw it number of times per second. That is, the screen must be refreshed
multiple times in a second.
8. Name the different positioning devices.
Answer:
The various positioning devices are:

Mouse
Tablet
Joystick
Digitizer
Light pen
Track ball

9. What are pointing devices? Give examples.

Answer:
A pointing device is a hardware peripheral that allows user to point to objects on the screen and
perform operations on them, such as selecting, clicking, moving, and dragging. Mouse is an example of
pointing device.
10. Explain the working principle of Mouse.
Answer:
A mouse is a small handled box used to position the screen cursor. It has two wheels at right angles to
each other. Each of these wheels is connected to the shaft encode. For every incremental rotation of the
wheel, an electrical signal is produced by the shaft encode. As the device is moved on a flat surface, the
movement is coded in the x and y directions by counting the number of pulses received from the shaft
encoder. These values are held in separate registers and the computer can sample them at a suitable
rate. The device can, therefore, be used for a moving cursor around the display screen.
11. Explain the working of Light pen along with a diagram.
Answer:
Light pen has a very simple working. Every pixel on the screen that is a part of the picture emits light.
All that the light pen does is to make use of this light signal to indicate the position. A small aperture is
held against the portion of the picture to be modified and the light from the pixels falls on a photocell,
after passing through the aperture. This photocell converts the light signal received from the screen to
an electrical pulse to be sent as a signal sent to the computer. Since the electrical signal is rather weak,
an amplifier amplifies it before being sent to the computer.
A "tracking software" keeps track of the position of the light pen always. Through the use of the
tracking software, a signal received by the light pen at any point indicates the portion of the picture that
needs to be modified.
Note that ,that, when the pen is being moved to its position, to the position where the modification is
required, it, it will encounter various other light sources on the way. These light sources should not
trigger the computer to accept the signal. So the aperture of the light pen is normally kept closed till the
final position is reached, and then it can be opened by a switch.
12. If we use 3 bits for primary colors how many different colors are possible?
Answer:
8 colors are possible.
13. How many different choices are possible if we use 24 bits per pixel?
Answer: 16.7 million (224) colors.

-------------------CHAPTER-3 (GRAPHICS PROGRAMMING IN C)

1. Compare the features of text and graphics mode?
Answer:
The following table compares the text and graphics modes:

Text mode
Graphics mode
You can only handle text.
You can display, capture, and animate figures.
You can display in 16 colors on a color monitor.
You can display various colors.
Text mode display is in two forms, 25 rows of 40 columns or 25 rows of 80 columns.
The resolution of the graphics mode depends on the adapter.

2. With the help of an illustration, explain how initgraph () function works.

Answer:
The initgraph () function is used to initialize the graphics system to load appropriate graphics drive and
video mode used by the graphics functions. The syntax of this function is:
initgraph (int *driver, int *mode, char *path)
As its parameters, you must specify the graphics mode such as EGA, or VGA (depends on the graphics
adapter being used), the graphics driver (a program that interfaced between the hardware and your C
program), and path of the graphics driver.
For example, to initialize graphics mode in CGA high resolution mode:
int gdriver = 1, gmode=4;
initgraph (&gdriver, &gmode, "d:\\tc\\bgi");
For example, to select the best driver and mode possible on a computer:
int gdriver = DETECT, gmode;
initgraph (&gdriver, &gmode, "d:\\tc\\bgi");
3. Use graphics function to draw concentric circles?

6. List the different graphics functions along with example.
Answer:
C supports various graphics functions, such as:
line(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2): This draws a line from position (x1, y1) to (x2, y2)
Example: line (10, 50, 10,100);
bar(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2): This draws a filled rectangle with diagonal from (x1, y1) to (x2,y2)
bar (10, 25, 100, and 75)
circle (int x, int y, int r): This draws a circle with center at (x, y) and radius of r.
Example: circle (50,50, 10)
arc (int x, int y, int start, int end, int r): This draws an arc of circle with the center at (x, y), radius r and
start and end specified in degrees to mention the portion of the circle that forms the arc.
Example: arc (100,100, 0, 90, and 20) draws the first quarter of the circle, arc with center (100,100) and
radius 20.
7. What is the use of malloc () function in C.
Answer:
The malloc () function allocates memory for an object. The number of bytes of memory to be allocated
is specified as its parameter.
8. Explain the use of getimage () and putimage () with examples
Answer:
The getimage () function captures the image inside the rectangle whose diagonal is defined by (x1, y1),
and (x2, y2), where x1, y1, x2, and y2 are the first four parameters of getimage (). The captured image
is stored in an array, which is specified as the last parameter of getimage ().
For example, to capture a rectangle whose diagonal is defined by (10, 50) and (50, 125), you can use
the getimage () function as:
int area = imagesize(10,50,50,125);
unsigned char * buf = malloc(arear);
getimage (10,50,50,125, buf);
The putimage () function copies the image captured using getimage (), starting at location (x, y), where

x and y are the first two parameters of this function. The image to be captured is specified as the third
parameter. The fourth parameter of this function specifies how the image has to be copied and takes
any of the following values:

COPY_PUT or 0, which copies the image as it is

XOR_PUT or 1, which performs an exclusive OR between the background pixels and the image
pixels
OR_PUT or 2, which performs an inclusive OR between the background pixels and the image
pixels
AND_PUT or 3, which performs an AND between the background pixels and the image pixels
NOT_PUT or 4, which inverts the pixels of the image.

For example, animate a rectangle as it is you can use the COPY_PUT option in putimage:
putimage (10,50, buf, COPY_PUT);
-------------------CHAPTER-4 (MULTIMEDIA)
1. What is multimedia?

The components of Multimedia are as follows:

Text
Graphics
Sound
Animation
Video

3. With illustration briefly narrate the origin and development of multimedia technology?
Answer:
Multimedia is an effective medium to express information in a more attractive way. It makes use of
text, pictures, audio, animation, and video. It was started more then 25 years ago. However, it only
became popular with the advent of desktop computers.
Audio was the first multimedia data incorporated into desktop computing, with the introduction of
soundboards built around the tone-synthesis chips. In addition, video could also be captured, displayed

and stored on a computer disk with the help of digital overlay and capture boards installed on any
ordinary computer.
However, the use of audio and video on desktop computers was limited due to their large size and high
computing power requirements. These limitations were overcome through the introduction of
compression/decompression engines for reducing the sizes of these files. As the demand increased for
multi standard compression on the same system, several manufacturers introduced a new generation of
compression chips that supported software programming. These chips contained hardware engines for
operations requiring high computing power and also integrated processors that can be programmed to
control data flow within the chip. Such technologies made audio and video boards capable of
transferring data to computer systems efficiently, in some cases, in real time.
The advent of RISC technology, parallel processing architecture, high speed hard disk, optical disk
drives and a variety of interfacing devices made it possible to design computer systems that have
multimedia features as standards.
The latest breakthrough in the field of multimedia was the advent of the Internet and other high-speed
networking technologies. These have presented new opportunities such as video conferencing, medical
imaging, and scientific visualization.
4. Give different applications for multimedia?
Answer:
Multimedia finds application in the field of entrainment, marketing, broadcasting, advertising,
publication, telecommunications, training, collaborative engineering, and design manufacturing process
because of its user-friendly operation.
5. What are sound cards?
Answer:
Sound card is the hardware for sound input and output. It is used with speakers, headphones, and
microphones to record and play sound. Some sound cards also include MIDI, .Wav, and MP3.
6. How do graphics help in digital imaging?
Answer:
In digital imaging, film less camera may capture an image electronically, or an image may be
traditionally created and scanned, or it may be created directly on the computer using graphics
packages. The last option is where graphics help digital imaging. Direct graphics can be created on a
computer in sophisticated, feature-rich packages such as Photoshop. These graphics editing packages
allow creation of realistic digital images for use in multimedia applications. In addition, graphics
packages also help to edit digital images, which have been scanned or captured in digital cameras.
7. What are the different choices for digital imaging?
Answer:
There are three different choices for digital imaging.

A film less camera may capture an image electronically

The image may be created within the computer using various paints and illustration programs
The image may be created traditionally and than scanned into digital form.

8. What are the different kinds of film less cameras available in the market?

PCMCIA Cameras
Filmless Camera backs
Still Video Cameras

9. Explain how an artist can make use of multimedia software for his work.
Answer:
An artist can create illustrations using illustration software such as Adobe Illustrator. He can also apply
special effects to existing and new images through filters such as those in Photoshop and Illustrator. In
addition, he can scan hand-drawn illustrations and apply effects to or edit them. He can also create
animation and add sound to his artwork using such software.
10. Explain how moving images are recorded on the hard disk.
Answer:
Moving images can be captured or copied on the hard disk with the help of a capture board.
Digital cameras RF or audio and video ports are connected to the corresponding RF of Audio video
ports available in the capture board. With the help of any Video studio software live images can be
captured and stored on the hard disk.
11. Explain how sound helps in multimedia. What are the major types of sound files?
Answer:
Sound in multimedia can include speech, special effect sounds, and music. Sound is an essential
component of a multimedia production, such as video or animation, and presentations. It helps to make
a multimedia application, entertaining, easy to understand, and more presentable. For example, a
presentation used for computer-based training can be more effective for students, if the text is also read
out as it is displayed.
The major types of sound file formats include Wave files and MIDI files.
12. What is sampling?
Answer:
The process of transfer of information from analog to digital is called sampling.
13. What is animation? Explain different types of animation techniques.
Answer:
Animation is the process in which each frame of a film or movie is produced individually and viewed
in rapid succession to give an illusion of continuous movement. On PCs the two main types of
animation techniques are as follows:

Object animation: Is the moment of unchanged text and object around the screen.
Cell animation/Frame animation: Is made of different frames on screen where they are
rapidly displayed to simulate motion.

14. Explain the meaning of the following terms: Morphing, Rendering, Wrapping.
Answer:

Morphing: It is the process of transformation of one image to another by the transformation

and distortion of corresponding points in both the images. The best example will be Kawasaki
advertisement where the motorbike changes into a cheetah.
Rendering: The process of converting your designed objects with texturing and animation into
an image or a series of images is called rendering.
Wrapping: It is the process where certain parts of the image could be marked for a change and
made to change to different one for example legs of cheetah to be morphed with the wheels and
head with head lights. Head can alone be marked and wrapped.

15. What is the meaning of file format?

Answer:
The method by which software organizes the data in the saved file is called the file format. The file
name extension or suffixes indicate the format or usage of the file. Several different types of file
formats are used by various kinds of software. For example: the GIF file format used for Web page
images is a standard format that can be opened by any program that supports that standard format.
16. Why do we use a scanner? Name the different types of scanners?
Answer:
Scanner is a peripheral device, which captures real object or image and saves it in a digital file as a
graphic. Different types of scanner are as follows:

Flatbed or Sheet-fed Scanner

Film Scanner
Handheld Scanner
3 D Scanner

17. What are the components of a multimedia system?

Answer:
The components of a multimedia system are as follows:

Monitor
CPU

Mouse
Keyboard
Microphone
CD drive and disc
Speaker
Digital camera
Joystick
Scanner
Printer
Web camera

18. Explain the significance of file extensions and file formats.

Answer:
File formats organize and store data in a specific format. The quality and characteristics of the format
decide the quality and usage of the data stored in the file, and the applications with which the file will
be compatible. For example, a graphic can be saved as a bitmap file or a GIF file. In the first case, the
quality of the graphic is good because bitmap format does not compress data, whereas GIF does.
However, the size of the file in the first case will be much more than the size of the file in the second
case. Therefore, bitmap graphics cannot be used on web pages because they take a lot of time to load,
whereas GIF graphics can be used.
File extensions help a user as well as an application to identify the file format. For example, you can
identify a graphic file by its extension such as .gif or .jpg. Similarly when you double click on a .gif
file, Windows would read the extension and select the appropriate program for opening the file.
