Abstract
Computer graphics has evolved to become an important discipline in both academia and industry, and an enabling technology for a broad variety of applications such as engineering (CAD, CAE and CAM), GIS, publishing and office applications. It can no longer be regarded as a confined discipline devoted solely to graphics standards or traditional techniques of 3D representations and rendering. The influence of computer graphics can be felt in almost all of today's key industrial areas, wherever computers are employed.Computer graphics has been a subject of interest in Hong Kong in recent years. Overviews of activities in China were presented in [18, 19] and in a special journal on computer graphics [20]. However, computer graphics activities in Hong Kong were not included in these materials, since all the papers mentioned above were published before July 1, 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China. Therefore, we present this article as a supplementary part to the two overviews, and try to give people an overall picture of computer graphics activities in China.
