graphic workstation
<graphics, computer> A {workstation} specifically configured
for graphics works such as {image manipulation}, {bitmap
graphics} ("paint"), and {vector graphics} ("draw") type
applications. Such work requires a powerful {CPU} and a high
{resolution} display.
A graphic workstation is very similar to a {CAD} workstation
and, given the typical specifications of personal computers
currently available in 1999, the distinctions are very blurred
and are more likely to depend on availability of specific
{software} than any detailed hardware requirements.
