Program Plan Intro

2D graphics:

The shape that can be laid flat on a piece of paper or any mathematical plane is known as a 2D shape. Only horizontal and vertical directions are used in 2D that is it contains only length and width. It is used for printing and drawing application.

3D graphics:

3D graphics is a three dimensional representation of the geometrical data. It contains length, breadth and depth.

Explanation of Solution

Determine whether designing the layout of magazines pages is application of 2D or 3D graphics:

  • The magazine page has its length and breadth but the depth of the page is negligible.
  • This means that the dimension of the page is limited to horizontal and vertical axes that are X and Y-axis.
  • So, in case of designing the layout of the magazine page various shapes, sizes and colors can be designed, but as the paper does not contain any depth, it is a 2D graphics application.

Therefore, designing the layout of the magazine page is “application of 2D graphics”.

Explanation of Solution

Determine whether drawing an image using Microsoft paint is application of 2D or 3D graphics:

  • The dimension of Microsoft page is limited to horizontal and vertical axes that are X and Y-axes.
  • So, In case of drawing an image using Microsoft paint, the position of the mouse pointer is located in between two coordinates only and so it is also an application of 2D graphics.

Therefore, drawing an image using Microsoft paint is “application of 2D graphics”.

Explanation of Solution

Determine whether producing image from a virtual world for a video game is application of 2D or 3D graphics:

  • The appearance of the screen of the video game on which images is displayed is 2D, but producing an image from a virtual world for a video game causes a series of images to view with subtle isometric variation to copy or mimic object as these objects are viewed in the real world.
  • So, through interaction, user also experiences the depth of the object.

Therefore, producing image from a virtual world for a video game is “application of 3D graphics”.
