==Content==

'''''IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications''''' (often abbreviated ''IEEE CG&A'') is a magazine on [[computer graphics]] published by the [[IEEE Computer Society]] since 1981.<ref>{{cite book|title=Handbook of Digital Image Synthesis: Scientific Foundations of Rendering|first=Vincent|last=Pegoraro|publisher=CRC Press|year=2016|isbn=9781315395210|page=6|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GlOzDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA6}}</ref>

One of its publishing innovations was the first animated [[hologram]] to appear on a magazine cover. The hologram, on its July 1988 cover, featured the baby from the 1988 [[Pixar]] short film ''[[Tin Toy]]'', opening and closing its mouth.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.digicamhistory.com/1988.html |title=1988 |work=Digicam History |access-date=2023-10-26}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |magazine=Holosphere |title="The Tin Toy Baby" becomes a hologram |volume=16–17 |pages=21–22 |publisher=Museum of Holography |year=1989 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kuZRAAAAMAAJ}}</ref>

Perhaps because of its familiarity to visualization researchers, publications in the magazine have been used as a test set for works studying the visualization of [[citation network]]s.<ref name=cpo>{{cite journal |last1=Chen |first1=Chaomei |last2=Paul |first2=Ray J. |last3=O'Keefe |first3=Bob |doi=10.1002/1532-2890(2000)9999:9999<::aid-asi1074>3.0.co;2-2 |issue=4 |journal=[[Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology]]|pages=315–330|title=Fitting the jigsaw of citation: Information visualization in ___domain analysis|volume=52|year=2001}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Nakazawa |first1=Rina |last2=Itoh |first2=Takayuki |last3=Saito |first3=Takafumi |date=March 2018 |doi=10.1007/s12650-018-0483-5 |issue=4 |journal=[[Journal of Visualization]] |pages=681–693 |title=Analytics and visualization of citation network applying topic-based clustering |volume=21 |s2cid=255766861}}</ref> One such analysis, for an 18-year range of publications, details the most frequently cited journals, works, and authors from articles published in the magazine, and relates a [[factor analysis]] of the articles to their subtopics.<ref name=cpo/>
