Abstract
The revolution in the field of computer graphics during the last two decades has made it possible to create high-quality synthetic images that even experts find difficult to differentiate from real imagery. In this paper, we explore a partially over-looked theme of computer graphics that aims at conveying simple information using simple line drawings and illustrations of polygonal as well as free-form objects.
