Image Types

• Pixel (or) Raster images - Russell Kirsch(Inventor)

* Pixel is a contraction of the words Picture & Element

* Raster is a term for all images that fit inside this model

• Vector images - Ivan Sutherland (Inventor)

* First vector drawing program was called Sketchpad

Raster Images Vector images

Raster graphic supports a wide range

of color, good for photography

Vector images are better for graphic

designing for its scalability

It uses dot matrix data structure

[rectangular grids of cells (or) pixels]

These are all equal in size.

It uses X and Y coordinates. It’s a

geometrical primitives such as lines,

points, shapes, or curves

Resolutions are Value dependent Independent of image resolution

File size is high File Size is too low

Each pixel individually corresponds to a

particular hue, saturation, brightness,

opacity and position that.

Vector graphics are composed of

paths.

Image Dimension changing makes

graphics pixilated (damaged).

Stretching and squeezing will not

damage the Image

Fabric Formation

Concept of woven fabric

Woven fabric is formed by interlacing of

two(or)more mutually perpendicular sets of yarns

Design Construction patterns from a weave

• Warp ups are indicated like: ■

• Weft ups are indicated like: □

The patterns are constructed as following steps:

1) Determine the weave, warp colour sequence and weft colour sequence, and calculate the pattern repeat.

2) Draw the weave, warp and weft colour sequence as per theirweave location, and fill the weave on colour pattern location.

2) Now the Fabric is ready.
