Computer graphics

Computer graphics
Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to the study of three-dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses two-dimensional graphics and image processing.

Computer graphics studies the manipulation of visual and geometric information using computational techniques. It focuses on the  mathematical and  computational foundations of image generation and processing rather than purely  aesthetic issues. Computer graphics is often differentiated from the field of  visualization, although the two fields have many similarities.
