  2. Technical illustration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_illustration

    Technical illustrations can be components of technical drawings or diagrams. Technical illustrations in general aim "to generate expressive images that effectively convey certain information via the visual channel to the human observer". [1] Technical illustrations generally have to describe and explain the subjects to a nontechnical audience ...

    Note the "hubs" (large-degree nodes) in the scale-free diagram (on the right). Scale-free networks: A scale-free network is a network whose degree distribution follows a power law, at least asymptotically. In network theory a scale-free ideal network is a random network with a degree distribution that unravels the size distribution of social ...

    Graphic representation of a minute fraction of the WWW, demonstrating hyperlinks.. Graph drawing is an area of mathematics and computer science combining methods from geometric graph theory and information visualization to derive two-dimensional depictions of graphs arising from applications such as social network analysis, cartography, linguistics, and bioinformatics.

    The resulting images plus the associated depth buffer can then be sent across the network and merged with the images from other computers. The result is a single frame containing all the information to be rendered, even though no single computer's memory held all of the information.

  8. 2D computer graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2D_computer_graphics

    2D computer graphics is the computer-based generation of digital images—mostly from two-dimensional models (such as 2D geometric models, text, and digital images) and by techniques specific to them. It may refer to the branch of computer science that comprises such techniques or to the models themselves. Raster graphic sprites (left) and masks

  9. Diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagram

    A diagram is a symbolic representation of information using visualization techniques. Diagrams have been used since prehistoric times on walls of caves, but became more prevalent during the Enlightenment. [1] Sometimes, the technique uses a three-dimensional visualization which is then projected onto a two-dimensional surface.
