The field of computer graphics has developed alongside the development of digital computers. In 1959’s, MIT Lincoln Labs TX-2 computer birth to the field of interactive graphics. Had in the mid-1960s, large companies like TRW, Lockheed, General Electric and Sperry Rand already begun research and development in computer graphics. IBM 2250 graphics terminal was the first commercially available computer graphics.
In 1969, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), a Special Interest Group on Graphics and Interactive Techniques has launched (SIGGRAPH) for the production and dissemination of information about graphics and interactive techniques promoted. SIGGRAPH interests include simulation and modeling, computer generated art, digital motion analysis, text editing and composition, mapping and cartography, computer-aided design and graphics software and hardware.
In the 1970s PCs became stronger, and they were able to draw shapes and complex designs.
In the late 1980s, 3D graphics, such as 3D models now with computers and GIS graphical user interface (GUI). GUI presented data (input and output) and information with symbols, icons and images as text. The SGI computers were used to create some of the first fully computer generated short films. Today, Apple Macintosh system is one of the most popular choice for computer graphics in graphic design studios and companies.
