    • Guidelines for Determining When to Use GKS and When to Use PHIGS 

      Bettels, Jurgen; Bono, Peter R.; McGinnis, Eileen; Rix, Joachim (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      GKS, GKS-3D, and PHIGS are all approved ISO standards for the application programmer interface. How does a system analyst or programmer decide which standard to use for his application? This paper discusses the range of ...

    • Incremental Polygon Rendering on a SIMD Processor Array 

      Theoharis, Theohaiis; Page, Ian (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      We demonstrate how both area coherence and parallelism can be exploited in order to speed up rendering operations on a SIMD square array of processors. Our algorithms take advantage of the method of differences, in order ...

    • A Note on Random Thresholding for Colour Synthesis 

      Lastra, G.L.; Rudinger, E.N. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      A simple algorithm that improves colour shaded images is presented. The algorithm does not trade spatial resolution for intensity resolution. The basic technique, based on random thresholding modulated by a pseudo-random ...

    • Offers to EUROGRAPHICS Members 

      Unknown author (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

    • A Processor for an Object-Oriented Rendering System 

      Schneider, Bengt-Olaf (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      An object oriented approach to the real-time rendering of raster images is described. The architecture is based on a set of object processors arranged in a pipeline. These object processors scan convert the objects in the ...

    • Report on the International Conference"Theory and Practice of Geometric Modelling" 

      Seidel, Hans-Peter (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

    • Report on the Third Eurographics Workshop on Graphics Hardware 

      Blake, E.H. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

    • Some Remarks on the Modelling Gip Problem 

      Herman, I.; Reviczky, J. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      The modelling clip as proposed for example in PHIGS is mathematically analyzed and a method to perform it is proposed. The method has the particular edvantage of avoiding all possible singularities appearing in the course ...

    • A Survey of Computer Animation 

      Pueyo, Xavier; Tost, Daniela (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      A survey on computer animation is presented with three specific goals: * .To clarify what people understand by computer animation. * .To separate the different aspects of computer animation and underline its main problems. ...

    • Theoretical Developments on Polygonal Approximation of Parametric Surfaces for Ray Tracing 

      Bouatouch, Kadi (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      Some theoretical extensions are brought to Koparkar and Mudur s method which deals with a polygonal approximation of parametric surfaces using potential extrema. The proposed extensions allow the determination of both the ...

    • Third Eurographics Workshop on IUVTELLIGENT CAD SYSTEMS"Practical Experience and Evaluation" 

      Unknown author (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

    • A Top Down Method for Interactive Drawing 

      Slater, Mel (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)
      Traditional interactive drawing programs adopt a bottom-up approach, allowing the user to construct a picture by the use of discrete tools, for example, lines, circles, rectangles, and so on. This paper presents a different ...
