Summary:
Students will be acquainted with special data structures used in applications of computer graphics like GIS etc. The methods for information coding in the form suitable for efficient storing and efficient manipulation are discussed. Most of these methods have been used in already existing (or prepared) graphical data formats. Also relation between graphical data and other data types in multimedia environment is discussed.
