13. Graphics Terminal (GT) GT is an important component of CAD providing a window through which the communication with the computer can be realized. Graphics terminals are classified as 1. CRT 2. Flat Screen SGGS Institute of engineering and Technology Nanded

14. Graphics Terminal (GT) Two basic image generation Techniques. 1) Stroke Writing Random positioning Line drawing Vector writing  Uses an electron beam which operates like pencil.  The image is constructed out of a sequence of straight line segment. SGGS Institute of engineering and Technology Nanded

15. Stroke Writing Smooth curves can be created. SGGS Institute of engineering and Technology Nanded

16. Raster Scan The viewing screen is divided into a large no of discrete phosphor elements. Matrix of pixels constitute a raster. 256X256, 1024X1024. SGGS Institute of engineering and Technology Nanded

17. Raster Scan Each pixel on screen can be made to glow with a different brightness. Color screen provide for the pixels to have different color as well as brightness. SGGS Institute of engineering and Technology Nanded

18. Raster Scan The electron beam creates image by sweeping along horizontal line. Sweeping is from left to right. Pixels are energized during sweep. When sweep on one line is completed, the electron beam moves to next line below. SGGS Institute of engineering and Technology Nanded

19. Raster Scan After sweeping entire screen the process is repeated. Rate of entire scan of screen is 30 to 60 scan per sec. SGGS Institute of engineering and Technology Nanded
