Computer Graphics Differences factorys Raster Scan Display

In CRT, the electron beam is swept across the screen, one row at a time from top to bottom. Refresh rate is 60 to 80 frames per sec. Picture definition is stored as a set of intensity values for all the screen points. Memory area for storing picture definition is called refresh buffer or frame buffer. These systems are designed for the realistic display of scenes containing subtle shading and color patterns A raster system produces jagged lines that are plotted as discrete point sets.

Random Scan Display

In CRT, the electron beam is directed only to the parts of the screen where a picture is to be drawn. Refresh rate depends upon the number of lines to be displayed. Picture definition is stored as a set of line-drawing commands. Memory area for storage of picture definition is called as refresh display file or display list. These systems are designed for line-drawing applications. A random display produce smooth line drawings as CRT beam directly follows the line path.

Boundary Fill Algorithm

Flood Fill Algorithm

Fill Area of an object may have a single or more color boundary. No such search for boundary color is required in this algorithm. This algorithm paints fill area by replacing a specified interior color.

Fill Area of an object must have a single boundary color. This algorithm proceeds until the boundary color is encountered. There is no such procedure for replacing the interior color with the specified one.

Parallel Projection

Perspective Projection

Object positions are transformed Object positions are transformed to to the view plane along parallel lines. the view plane along lines that converge to a point called the projection reference point. It preserves relative proportions It does not preserves relative of objects. proportions of objects. Accurate views of various sides Views are not accurate of an object are obtained. Views are not the realistic one. Views produced are the realistic one.
