ReTargetable Graphics is a device driver API mainly used by 3rd party graphics hardware to interface with AmigaOS via a set of libraries.

The Accelerated Graphics Port ( often shortened to AGP ) is a high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a video card to a computer's motherboard, primarily to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics.

JPEG Network Graphics ( JNG, ) is a JPEG-based graphics file format which is closely related to PNG: it uses the PNG file structure ( with a different signature ) as a container format to wrap JPEG encoded image data.

Some motherboards contain video outputs on the back panel for integrated graphics solutions ( either embedded in the motherboard, or combined with the microprocessor, such as the Intel HD Graphics ).

Silicon Graphics ( SGI ) refocused its business from desktop graphics workstations to the high-performance computing market in the early 1990s.

Multiple-image Network Graphics is a public graphics file format for animated images.

At its introduction, the 68000 was first used in high-priced systems, including multiuser microcomputers like the WICAT 150, early Alpha Microsystems computers, Sage II / IV, Tandy TRS-80 Model 16, and Fortune 32: 16 ; single-user workstations such as Hewlett-Packard's HP 9000 Series 200 systems, the first Apollo / Domain systems, Sun Microsystems ' Sun-1, and the Corvus Concept ; and graphics terminals like Digital Equipment Corporation's VAXstation 100 and Silicon Graphics ' IRIS 1000 and 1200.

OpenGL ( Open Graphics Library ) is a cross-language, multi-platform API for rendering 2D and 3D computer graphics.

By the early 1990s, Silicon Graphics ( SGI ) was a leader in 3D graphics for workstations.

RLE may also be used to refer to an early graphics file format supported by CompuServe for compressing black and white images, but was widely supplanted by their later Graphics Interchange Format.

Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ) is a family of specifications of an XML-based file format for two-dimensional vector graphics, both static and dynamic ( i. e., interactive or animated ).

Until the second generation Onyx Reality Engine machines, SGI offered access to its high performance 3D graphics subsystems through a proprietary API known as IRIS Graphics Language ( IRIS GL ).

In 1999, in an attempt to clarify their current market position as more than a graphics company, Silicon Graphics Inc. changed its corporate identity to “ SGI ”, although its legal name was unchanged.

The World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ) standard for vector graphics is Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ).

John D. Carmack, a game programmer at Softdisk, discovered a trick that would allow smooth-scrolling graphics in PC games, but only with the 16-color Enhanced Graphics Adapter card.

As the Tandy 1000 line outlasted the PCjr by many years ( and in fact did not make it to market until shortly before IBM announced the discontinuation of the PCjr ) these graphics and sound standards became known as " Tandy-compatible " or ( for the graphics ) " TGA " ( standing for Tandy Graphics Adapter ) and many software packages of the era listed their support for Tandy standard hardware on the package.

The MS-DOS was a version specialized for and only bootable on the Tandy 1000, as it would announce on the screen of any other PC-compatible one tried to boot with it ; it included a version of BASICA ( Microsoft's Advanced GW-BASIC ) with support for the enhanced CGA graphics modes ( a. k. a. Tandy Graphics or TGA ) and three-voice sound hardware of the Tandy 1000.

* The Hercules Graphics Card Plus ( June 1986 ) allowed user-defined fonts to be used in 80 × 25 text mode.

They found that the MS-DOS version played at twice the speed of the C64 / 128 version when using the Enhanced Graphics Adapter ( EGA ) graphics mode.

The typical performance hit was around 10 % compared to Voodoo Graphics, and even worse in windowed mode.

Although the IBM PC Enhanced Graphics Adapter ( EGA ) standard offers a fixed 64 color space, it only allows 16 simultaneous colors ( 16 out of 64 ), and then only in the relatively slow and barely accelerated high-res ( 640x350 ) mode.

4096 colors ): some Silicon Graphics systems, Neo Geo, Color NeXTstation systems, and Amiga systems in HAM mode.

Mode X is an alternative video graphics display mode of the IBM VGA graphics hardware that was popularized by Michael Abrash, first published in July 1991 in Dr. Dobb's Journal, republished in chapters 47-49 of Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book ( now freely available online ).

One significant difference from previous versions of Windows NT is that the Graphics Device Interface ( GDI ) is moved into kernel mode rather than being in user mode in the CSRSS process.

For example, a tweak mode can be set even in the original IBM Color Graphics Adapter ( CGA ) to give an extra, non-standard 160 × 100 pixels, 16-color graphic mode.

* Finally, the last mode, accessible in Atari BASIC as Graphics 10, allows 9 colors per horizontal line in any hue and luminance from the entire Atari palette of 128 colors.

Graphics emulation includes text mode, Hercules, CGA ( including some composite modes and the 160x100x16 tweaked modes ), Tandy, EGA, VGA ( including Mode X and other tweaks ), VESA, and full S3 Trio 64 emulation.

Intel, Silicon Graphics, Apple, and Sun all had retained mode scene graph APIs under development in 1996.

HAM6 mode was introduced with the Original Chip Set and was retained in the later Enhanced Chip Set and Advanced Graphics Architecture.

With the release of the Advanced Graphics Architecture ( AGA ) in 1992, the original HAM mode was renamed " HAM6 ", and a new " HAM8 " mode was introduced ( the numbered suffix reflecting the bitplanes used by the respective HAM mode ).

In addition to its native 640 x 480 mode, the PGC optionally supported the documented text and graphics modes of the Color Graphics Adapter, which could be enabled using an onboard jumper.

Some third-party CGA and EGA clones, such as the ATI Graphics Solution and the Paradise EGA, could emulate the extra modes ( usually describing them simply as ' Plantronics mode ').

Graphics cards are designed primarily for 2D artwork production, workstation use, and later, gaming.

However, subsequent models removed this and the " Graphics Synthesizer " GPU, thus removing support for PS2 titles, but still able to play most original PS games.

Graphics and titles were developed by the Lambie-Nairn design agency and were gradually rolled out across the whole of BBC News, including a similar design for regional news starting with Newsroom South East and the three BBC Nations – Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The Nova influenced the design of both the Xerox Alto ( 1973 ) and Apple I ( 1976 ) computers, and its architecture was the basis for the Computervision CGP ( Computervision Graphics Processor ) series.

It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of Scalable Vector Graphics ( SVG ) to draw the shape.

In 1970 Danny Cohen presented at the " Computer Graphics 1970 " conference in England a linear algorithm for drawing ellipses and circles.

GLUT was written by Mark J. Kilgard, author of OpenGL Programming for the X Window System and The Cg Tutorial: The Definitive Guide to Programmable Real-Time Graphics, while he was working for Silicon Graphics Inc.

Besides his studio work, Torrence became a graphic artist starting his own company, Kittyhawk Graphics, and designing and creating album covers and logos for other musicians and recording artists, including Harry Nilsson, Steve Martin, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Dennis Wilson, Bruce Johnston, The Beach Boys, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Linda Ronstadt, Canned Heat, The Ventures and many others.

In 1988, MIPS Computer Systems designs were noticed by Silicon Graphics ( SGI ) and the company adopted the MIPS architecture for its computers.

Mathematics for Computer Graphics.

IBM introduced a 16-color scheme ( one bit each for RGB and Intensity ) with the Color Graphics Adapter ( CGA ) for its first IBM PC ( 1981 ), later improved with the Enhanced Graphics Adapter ( EGA ) in 1984.

The first manufacturer of a truecolor graphic card for PCs ( the TARGA ) was Truevision in 1987, but it was not until the arrival of the Video Graphics Array ( VGA ) in 1987 that RGB became popular, mainly due to the analog signals in the connection between the adapter and the monitor which allowed a very wide range of RGB colors.
