Computer graphics are known to be pictures and drawings pro­duced by computers. A graphics program interprets the input pro­vided by the user and transports it into images that can be displayed on the screen, printed on paper or transferred to microfilm. In the process the computer uses hundreds of mathematical formulas to convert the bits of data into precise shapes and colours. Graphics can be developed for a variety of uses including illustrations, archi­tectural designs and detailed engineering drawings.

Mechanical engineering uses sophisticated programs for appli­cations in computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). In the car industry CAD software is used to develop, model and test car designs before the actual parts are made. This can save a lot of time and money.

Basically, computer graphics help users to understand complex information quickly by presenting it in more understandable and clearer visual forms. Electric engineers use computer graphics for designing circuits and in business it is possible to present informa­tion as graphics and diagrams. These are certain to be much more effective ways of communicating than lists of figures or long expla­nations.

Today, three-dimensional graphics along with colour and com­puter animation are supposed to be essential for graphic design, computer-aided engineering (CAE) and academic research. Com­puter animation is the process of creating objects and pictures which move across the screen; it is used by scientists and engineers to analyze problems. With appropriate software they can study the structure of objects and how it is affected by particular changes.
