Software Requirements For Graphics
The following graphics processing capabilities are highly desirable in a multimedia computer system for better presentation and use of graphics information:
1. Painting or drawing software: This software allows the user to create graphics from scratch by using a mouse and various simple objects, such as lines, circles and polygons with various supporting colors. It also allows the user to modify and enhance graphic images produced by using a scanner or screen capture. All these features make this software very useful for cresting desired graphics in a multimedia application.
2. Screen capture software: Often we need to incorporate images from computer screen displays in some document. Screen capture software packages are used in such cases to capture the display of a computer screen as a graphics image.
3. Clip art: Clip art is a library of commonly used graphics images or objects, such as a personal computer, printer, aeroplane, telephone, flower, building etc. These images can be directly imported from the library and used in a multimedia application, saving the time and effort, which might otherwise be required to create or search and capture a similar image object. This is also helpful, if one does not have a scanner or some other means of inputting graphics into the computer. A clip art library often provides the facility to add new objects or delete an existing object from the library.
4. Graphics importing: The task of creating a multimedia application incorporating graphics can often be greatly simplified, if the application software can import graphics images in some standard formats common graphics formats include .BMP, GIF, and .PCX.
