Undergraduate Program FCIT Graphics Hardware and Software Below are graphics hardware and software that we use in the Chemistry Department to develop web pages. Hardware is necessary for creating the source files seen on the web. Software converts the raw source files into smaller, web- readable files.
Graphics software can create images from scratch.
OCR is software that converts source files to editable text files. Compared to web page production, graphics can require hardware resources, in addition to the software resources required for both. Hardware is necessary to convert print media to digital media. Traditional photographic equipment have digital analogs to facilitate the process of graphics creation. This is a versatile instrument for scanning pages, photographs, images, and performing OCR, turning print media to electronic media.
