graphics图形与images图象
image指计算机内以位图(Bitmap)形式存在 的灰度(gray)信息。
graphics含有几何属性(geometric information)，更强调场景(scene)的几何表 示(geometric representation)，是由场景的 几何模型(geometric model)和景物的物理属 性(physical property)共同组成的。
1.2 History of CG development
20th Century 1950s
In 1950, the first graphic display in the world was made, as the accessory of MIT’s Whirlwind I computer.
