Chapter Overview Lesson 9-1 Graphics and Their Uses Lesson 9-2 Exploring Graphics Programs Lesson 9-3 Working With Graphics Chapter Review and Assessment

Graphics Basics

What Is a Graphic? In day-to-day speech, people use the word graphic to refer to any visual

image or object. A family photo, a road map, and a stick figure drawn on a chalkboard are all examples of graphics.

When people talk about a computer graphic, they usually are referring to an image. Images include drawings, painted backgrounds, and photographs. Computer graphics can be displayed in a variety of ways. They can appear on the screen as a background, or they can be placed into a document to add color and information. Thus, in the broadest sense of the term, computer graphic could refer to anything that can be seen on the computer screen.

9–2  Exploring Graphics Programs

Identify the main sections of a graphics application window.

List the different tools available in paint and draw programs.

Determine when to use the tools in a paint or draw program.

    As You Read Summarize Information Make

a table that lists tools used in paint and draw programs on the left. On the right, include the type of program(s) each tool is used in.

 

Click the button above to open an interactive quiz with multiple-choice questions.

  Click the button above to open an interactive test with multiple-choice and critical-thinking

questions.

Directions: Choose one of the following projects. Complete the exercises on a separate sheet of

paper. A. When working with graphics, there are few

limits to the projects you can make. Some projects can even be funny! Create a comic strip using vector or bitmapped graphics. You may create

your own images or edit clip art. Your comic strip should have at least four frames. Be sure to use

the different tools and colors in the program. Print your strip to show to the class.

B. Newspapers and magazines often use graphics to capture the readers’ attention or to make a

point. Find three graphics (including photos with special effects) in newspapers or magazines. Next, create a three-column chart. On the chart, paste

each image, identify each source and page number, and categorize the graphic as bitmapped

or vector. Present your findings to the class. Problem Solving
