The meaning of 'graphics'

In a computer program, the basic graphics manipulation facilities usually include:

• The drawing of lines, points, images, text in various positions, sizes and colours
• Colour control
• Font control

Java includes support for these basic methods (covered in this unit), and a lot more besides. More recent additions to the Java standard include the 'Java 2D' specification (facilities to manipulate image by stretching, sizing and re-colouring) and 'Java 3D' (facilities to render three-dimensional solid shapes on a two-dimensional screen).
