The importance of computer graphics and image processing lies in the opportunities they provide for the use of pictorial information in communicating with computer systems /11/. Pictorial communication can replace the traditional alphanumeric man-machine communication because it represents a very natural way of interfacing man and machine. In this way pictorial communication promises foreseeable advances in communication technology because the volume of data that can be collected and disseminated will increase by orders of magnitude /13/. Data processing frequently is a task of processing large amounts of all kinds of data. Nothing is more natural than performing that work interactively by dealing with pictures instead of numerical series. However, not only the quantity of data that can be made visible in one picture is an important fact, but so are capabilities such as showing dynamic effects, emphasizing or highlighting certain characteristics of data, or visualizing normally invisible structures within data. There are many examples of application areas that have come to depend on interactive computer graphics and image processing to carry out tasks that would otherwise be too expensive to perform or even impossible to carry out. The main reason for the effectiveness of pictorial communication in these applications is the speed of perception with which the user can assimilate the displayed information. Moreover, the usefulness of pictorial communication lies not only in the speed of generating images but also in its flexibility, i.e. its ability to present the same data in a variety of ways /7/.
