It is published six times a year.<ref name=salomon/><ref name=ruller/>

==Content==

As aThe magazine, ''CG&A'' features shorter and less technical content than would appear in an [[academic journal]], and is meant for both experts and non-experts and often tutorial in nature.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About IEEE Magazines |url=https://magazines.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/get-started-with-ieee-magazines/about-ieee-magazines/ |access-date=2023-10-17 |website=IEEE Author Center Magazines |language=en-US}}</ref> ''CG&A''It connects the theory of computer graphics to its practice,<ref name=salomon>{{cite book |first=David |last=Salomon |title=The Computer Graphics Manual |date=18 September 2011 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DX4YstV76c4C&pg=PA21 |pages= 21–22 |publisher=[[Springer Science+Business Media]] |isbn=9780857298867}}</ref> providing coverage on topics including modeling, [[Rendering (computer graphics)|rendering]], [[animation]], (data) [[Visualization (graphics)|visualization]], [[Human–computer interaction|HCI/user interfaces]], novel applications, [[Hardwarehardware architecture|hardware architectures]]s, [[Haptic technology|haptics]], [[Virtual reality|virtual and augmented reality]] systems, and [[medical imaging]].<ref>{{cite book |title= Lesko's New Tech Sourcebook: A Directory to Finding Answers in Today's Technology-oriented World |first=Matthew |last=Lesko |publisher=[[Harper & Row]] |year=1986 |isbn=9780061815096 |page=140}}</ref><ref name=ruller>{{cite journal |last=Ruller |first=Thomas |date=July 1993 |doi=10.17723/aarc.56.3.yq85664055727271 |doi-access=free |issue=3 |journal=[[The American Archivist]] |pages=546–559 |title=A review of information science and computer science literature to support archival work with electronic records |volume=56}} See paragraph about this journal on p. 554.</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 ''CG&A''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 from ''CG&A'', 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/>
