| accelerated graphics port | Accelerated Graphics Port (A technology that provides a dedicated, high-speed port through which large blocks of 3-D texture data can be moved between the computer's graphics controller and system memory) |
| background graphics | Hintergrundgrafiken (Any graphics on a slide, including drawing objects, patterns in a background fill, and pictures) |
| background graphics mode | Hintergrundgrafikmodus (A mode that defines how background colors are mixed with window or screen colors for text and bitmap operations) |
| computer graphics | Computergrafik (" The display of "pictures", as opposed to only alphabetic and numeric characters, on a computer screen. Computer graphics encompasses different methods of generating, displaying, and storing information. Thus, computer graphics can refer to the creation of business charts and diagrams; the display of drawings, italic characters, and mouse pointers on the screen; or the way images are generated and displayed on the screen.") |
| data graphic | Datengrafik (A graphic element on a drawing that is associated with data) |
| DirectX Graphics Infrastructure | DirectX Graphic Infrastructure (The infrastructure that manages low-level graphics-related tasks, such as output adapter and swap chain configuration, and provides a common framework for managing virtualized graphics components and resources) |
| enhanced graphics adapter | Enhanced Graphics Adapter, erweiterter Grafikadapter (An IBM video display standard introduced in 1984. It emulates the Color/Graphics Adapter (CGA) and the Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA) and provides medium-resolution text and graphics. It was superseded by Video Graphics Display (VGA)) |
| graphics adapter | Grafikadapter (A video adapter capable of displaying graphics as well as alphanumeric characters. Almost all video adapters in common use today are graphics adapters) |
| graphics engine | Grafikengine (A video card that contains a graphics coprocessor. A graphics accelerator can update the video display much more quickly than the CPU can, and it frees the CPU for other tasks. A graphics accelerator is a necessity for modern software such as graphical user interfaces and multimedia applications) |
| graphics memory | Grafikspeicher (A type of memory used by video cards to store information that will be displayed on a monitor. The amount of video memory dictates the maximum resolution and color depth available for the display) |
| graphics method | Grafikmethode (A method in code that performs a graphics-related function such as drawing a line or shape or repainting a background with a solid color) |
| graphics platform | Grafikplattform (The foundation technology by which a computer displays graphic images) |
| graphics primitive | Grafikgrundtyp (A basic shape (a point, a line, circle, curve, or polygon) that a graphics adapter can manipulate as a discrete entity) |
| graphics processing unit | Grafikprozessor (A processor on a graphics card that is used as a video encoding accelerator) |
| raster graphic | Rastergrafik (An image created as a collection of small, independent dots, called pixels, which are arranged in rows and columns) |
| RemoteFX Adaptive Graphics | Adaptive RemoteFX-Grafik (A feature that enables a seamless delivery of virtual desktop and RemoteApp programs by using the Windows Aero and 3-D experience across a variety of networks, including networks where bandwidth is limited and latency is high) |
| SmartArt graphic | SmartArt-Grafik (A graphic element from the SmartArt feature) |
| SmartArt graphic Picture Layout | SmartArt-Bildlayout (A feature that automates the task of positioning images and combining them with text in documents. It produces attractive, editable designs that highlight photos and accompanying text and make it easy for novices to produce compelling, high quality photo layouts) |
| SmartArt graphics | SmartArt-Grafiken (An Office feature that allows users to create professional looking information graphics quickly and easily) |
| super video graphics adapter | Super-VGA (A video standard established by BESA to provide high-resolution color display on IBM-compatible computers. The most commonly implemented SVGA standard is 1024 x 768 pixels color resolution) |
| vector graphic | Vektorgrafik (An image generated from a mathematical description that determines the position, length, and direction in which lines are drawn. A vector graphic is created as a collection of lines rather than as a pattern of individual dots or pixels) |
