Pen Plotters Advantages: Perfect lines, Sharp Diagrams Disadvantages: Not suitable for filled regions. Graphics Hardware Raster Devices: Create pictures by displaying dots Eg: Video monitor, dot-matrix printer, laser printer, ink-jet printer, film recorder Advantages: Filled, shaded regions are easily displayed Disadvantages: Jaggies Pixel Depth Pixel depth refers to the number of bits used to represent a pixel value. Pixel Depth 1 bit per pixel produce 2 levels (bi-level image). 2 bits per pixel produce 4 levels. 8 bits per pixel produce 256 levels. In general, if the pixe
