 | | A graphics board (or graphics card) is a printed circuit board that, when installed in a computer, permits the computer to display pictures. | | | For example, laser printers and plotters are graphics devices because they permit the computer to output pictures. | | | In computer graphics, antialiasing is a software technique for diminishing jaggies - stairstep-like lines that should be smooth. |

| | The Classical Outlook:Random Access:Spring 1992 |
| | In the IBM world, there is a big difference between a computer with a graphics adapter (a specialized circuit board that attaches inside the computer) and one without. | | | The complexity of graphics adapters has developed over the years; but, unless you are trying to use a very specialized type of software, they are generally intercompatible, as long as they follow one of the official IBM standards (CGA, EGA, VGA) or an independent equivalent, like Hercules (A brand name--students, take note!). | | | If you do have a graphics adapter on your IBM-compatible, there are a number of font software options to choose from. |

| | Video Graphics Array: Definition and Much More From Answers.com |
| | VGA is referred to as an "array" instead of an "adapter" because it was implemented from the start as a single chip (a gate array), replacing the Motorola 6845 and a full-length ISA board full of discrete components that the MDA, CGA, and EGA used. | | | Video Graphics Array (VGA) is a computer display standard first marketed in 1987 by IBM. | | | MCGA, also produced by IBM, was similar except that it was a simpler version of the VGA hardware. |

| | SGI - Silicon Graphics F181: Terminology |
| | The computer system's graphics rendering rate is usually related to the frame rate. | | | In their most common computer application, notebook computers, video drivers take the digital information in the graphics frame buffer and digitally interface to the row and column drivers that set the colors at each pixel in the display. | | | Usually accomplished through the use of a color or luminance measuring device and a lookup table (LUT) of values accessible to the computer's graphics controller. |

| | Another issue with respect to memory on the graphics adapter is how wide the access is between the graphics chipset and the memory on the adapter. | | | The EGA has problems emulating the earlier CGA or MDA adapters, and some software that works with the earlier cards will not run on the EGA until the programs are modified. | | | For realistic computer graphics, color often is more important than high resolution, because the human eye perceives a picture that has more colors as being more realistic. |

| | History Computer Monitors CRT Pixel Resolution Display Video |
| | Often referred to as a monitor when packaged in a separate case, the display is the most-used output device on a computer. | | | Just look at the advances made by IBM over the course of a decade: In 1981, IBM introduced the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), which was capable of rendering four colors, and had a maximum resolution of 320 pixels horizontally by 200 pixels vertically. | | | The display capabilities of a computer, however, depend on both the logical circuitry (provided in the video adapter) and the display monitor. |

| | Because a typeset page is often complicated due to the graphics and different typestyles, many laser printers use a page description language such as Postscript to control the communication between computer and printer. | | | Some computers are sold with the display adapter and monitor as part of the package; others let you choose the exact combination of display adapter and monitor to suit your needs and budget. | | | The Hercules graphics card, often simply called a monochrome graphics card, which was not developed by IBM, provides the highest resolution graphics of any of these common display adapters. |

| | For example, to capture a PCX-format image file "MY_PICT.PCX" that was created for display on 320 x 200 256-color VGA displays, enter: WR_DEMO my_pict.pcx 19 WR_DEMO captures the entire screen and all color planes, so the size of the resultant PCX_DEMO.PCX file may be different than the file it displayed. | | | Would you have otherwise spent $500 or so to purchase the source code version of a commercial PCX graphics library? | | | WR_DEMO The demonstration program WR_DEMO will first display a PCX-format image file, then capture the image directly from the display adapter's memory and create a PCX-format image file called "PCX_DEMO.PCX". |

| | Multicolor Graphics Adapter (MCGA) was the IBM name for what would later become part of the generic Video Graphics Array (VGA) standard. | | | The display adapter used a 15-pin D-shell connector. | | | The tenure of MCGA was brief; the PS/2 Model 25 and Model 30 (which had an MCGA display adapter integrated into the motherboard) were discontinued by 1992 and no manufacturer produced a clone of this display adapter, since the VGA standard introduced at the same time was considered superior. |
