Abstract
This chapter gives a simplified and highly abridged overview of computer graphics. Graphics and visualization is one of the major research areas in computer science and has a reputation for being highly complex and mathematically demanding. However, there is a wide range of research being conducted under the heading “graphics and visualization”— with varying degrees of complexity.
