it is about the first monitor displays.
Hello there. my name is derick. i hope that you will be able to help me with a rather unique question i think. it is ok if you can't answer this question because the website looks a bit like for solving technical problems rather than history of computers. so i wanted to ask a question regarding the foundation of personal computers. would you happen to know about the first pcs. i was curious about how they created the different structures or shapes of alphabets, symbols for display on the monitor in the early days. like how would they calculate or make a binary solution for a letter, symbol, etc to be understood by computer and displayed on the monitor or stored in the memory. did they scan the drawing, or use a sketch pad to automatically store it in the memory. or how else would they have made it happen. By the way I am not asking about how monitors work but just about the binary solution to fonts, symbols, etc. your answer would be most helpful. I shall look forward to your reply. Thank you

HEY YOU MUST LEARN THE SUBJECT COMPUTER GRAPHICS.. UR QUESTION IS ABOUT DISPLAYING LINES AND CIRCLES ON MONITOR USING BINARY CODES,.. SO GENERALLY ON MOST BASIC LEVEL THE C++ PROGRAMMING CAN EASILY DRAW A LINE AND CIRCLE AS PER YOUR REQUIREMENTS .. YOU HAVE TO MENTION COORDINATE OF STARTING AND END POINT.. THE COMPILER AND O.S CHANGES THE CODES IN BINARY FORM AND FIGURES ARE OBTAINED ON THE MONITOR.
