Abstract:


    What is Raster Graphics??Raster graphics is an area of computer graphics based upon?a particular technology for displaying images: the simple CRT?raster scan used by the millions of TV sets around the world.?In a raster scan, the CRT’s electron beam follows a fixed?pattern, which is repeated about 30 times a second. An image?is created by varying the intensity of the electron beam. In?simple systems the intensity variation is between the on and?off states, while more complex systems allow multiple levels?of intensity and/or color.
