Computer graphics forms an important part of a working scientist's tools. This may be provided by resources with the scientist's group or by capabilities of the toolkits that the scientist uses directly in his or her work. However, in order for the scientist to understand how the computer graphics images represent models and what the overall possibilities are for this representation and for the occasional time when the scientist may want to develop a presentation that is beyond the capability of the standard tools, it is important for the scientist to understand the basic capabilities and processes of computer graphics. This paper outlines how a computational science program can provide students the background needed to have this understanding.
