 | | 2D computer graphics is the computer -based generation of digital images —mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. | | | 2D graphics editors or drawing programs are application-level software for the creation of images, diagrams and illustrations by direct manipulation (through the mouse, tablet, or similar device) of 2D computer graphics primitives. | | | 2D computer graphics are mainly used in applications that were originally developed upon traditional printing and drawing technologies, such as typography, cartography, technical drafting, advertising, etc.. |

| Â | Definition of 3D computer graphics |
| | 3D computer graphics are distinct from 2D computer graphics in that a three-dimensional virtual representation of objects is stored in the computer for the purposes of performing calculations and rendering images. | | | In general, the term may also refer to the process of creating such graphics, or the field of study of 3D computer graphic techniques and its related technology. | | | 3D graphics have become so popular, particularly in computer games, that specialized APIs (application programmer interfaces) have been created to ease the processes in all stages of computer graphics generation. |

| | The graphics engine then takes care of all the low-level tasks, including updating the window in case of an expose event, and refreshing the display if the position, size, or graphic properties of the object change. | | | But for more complex 2D graphics applications, the ideal solution is a graphics engine that transparently handles tasks. | | | To develop the application described above, a developer using ILOG Views 2D Graphics simply needs to create two graphic objects and add them to a container. |

| | Java2D permits you to assign transparency (alpha) values to drawing operations so that the underlying graphics partially shows through when you draw shapes or images. | | | In Java 1.2, the paintComponent method is supplied with a Graphics2D object (a subclass of Graphics), which contains a much richer set of drawing operations. | | | In Java2D, you generally create a Shape object, then call either the draw or fill method of the Graphics2D object, supplying the Shape object as an argument. |
