Crovello, Theodore J.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of computer graphics in the field of biosciences. Computer graphics is the most rapidly expanding area of computing and of biocomputing today. It reveals the power of computers to rapidly retrieve and to transform voluminous biological information into meaningful results which, without computers, would require great amounts of a biologist's time. The state-of-the-art of computer graphics systems offer various combinations and levels of resolutions, color, color tinting, stored special symbols, including complete foreign alphabets, animations and real-time graphics. Computer graphics systems have advanced to the point where they can produce graphics that display photographs and graphs accurately and quickly.
