5.3 Read and translate the text. Graphics and communications software
Computer graphics is a broad term that refers to the methods and techniques used to draw pictures or images on display screens or on graphic printers and plotters. You have probably seen computer graphics in arcade and educational games and in special effects on television programs and films. Another use for graphics is in the graphical user interfaces, where pictures are used in conjunction with words to communicate with the user.
Graphic software for personal computers can be used to create charts, presentations, maps, drawings, diagrams, and pictures. The simplest graphic software consists of paint and draw programs. A paint program provides commands to create lines, circles, rectangles, and other shapes, as well as do freehand sketching. A draw program provides similar capabilities, but the objects created, such as circles or rectangles, can be resized or moved around on the screen without affecting other objects. Draw programs are better suited for diagrams that must often be changed, whereas paint programs are preferred for more artistic illustrations. Computer-aided design (CAD) programs use very sophisticated draw-program features to allow engineers to use their display screens as electronic drafting tables and eliminate the tedium of manually redrawing their designs in much the same way that the users of spreadsheet programs eliminate the tedium of manual recalculation.
The largest application for personal computer graphic software is producing business graphics. Application software for business graphics includes two categories, charting programs and presentation graphics programs.
Charting programs are built-in components of spreadsheet programs. These programs are capable of transforming data that are contained in their spreadsheet into charts - graphics or diagrams that display data or the relationships among data in pictorial form. Common chart types include bar, line, and pie charts.
Presentation graphics programs are stand-alone programs that help you create presentations including output to transparencies or slides.
The traditional presentation involves a step-by-step series of slides consisting of bullet-pointed text and accompanying graphics. It is typically used to supplement a human speaker who is trying to convey ideas to another person or a group of people. More sophisticated presentations incorporate animation, sound, and video, thanks to the growing popularity of multimedia.
COMMUNICATIONS SOFTWARE. By itself, a personal computer is a powerful and interesting tool, but when it can communicate with other computers, a whole new world of applications opens up. Groups of computers linked together in networks can share programs and information. For example, you can communicate with another personal computer by sending and receiving electronic mail—an application that handles the sending and receiving of electronic messages. You can connect to a public-access electronic bulletin board, software that serves as an information and message-passing centre for its users. Electronic bulletin boards are usually topical in nature and exist for almost any subject.
