Summary: COMPUTER GRAPHICS, ONCE INACCESSIBLE TO ALL BUT HIGHLY TECHNICAL INDIVIDUALS WITH EXCELLENT FINANCIAL RESOURCES, IS NOW AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE FOR MANY USERS-FROM THE CARTOONIST WHO WANTS TO CREATE ANIMATION FRAMES MORE EFFICIENTLY, TO THE SCIENTIST WHO WANTS TO ANALYZE COMPLEX AND ABSTRACT DATA USING AN INTUITIVE GRAPHICAL FORMAT. COMPUTER GRAPHICS ENABLES USERS IN A WIDE VARIETY OF CREATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND SCIENTIFIC FIELDS TO SIMPLIFY THE PRESENTATION OF COMPLEX INFORMATION, TO SYNTHESIZE VAST AMOUNTS OF DATA INTO CRISP GRAPHICAL FORMATS FOR ANALYSIS, AND TO EXPEDITE THE DESIGN PHASE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT.
