    • GENERATION OF COMPLEX 3D FINITE ELEMENT MESHES ON TURNKEY GRAPHIC SYSTEMS 

      Altimimi, K. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper outlines a new approach to finite element mesh generation that has been developed at Perkins Engines on a Computervision CADDS III system. Unlike other finite element mesh generation packages, PEPFEM - G (Perkins ...

    • GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THE ODYSSEY PROJECT 

      Teicholz, E.; Nisen, B. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      There are numerous public and private agencies that are currently creating geographic (location specific) data. These agencies include the Census Bureau (County DIME, Urban Atlas, DIME files), the United States Geological ...

    • THE GHOST-80 INTERACTIVE METAFILE 

      Prior, W.A.J.; Sutherland, R.J. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      In an interactive graphics environment, a random-access metafile has advantages over the usual serial type. A description is given of the use of such an interactive metafile in the GHOST-80 graphics system, together with ...

    • GRAPHICAL PRESENTATION FOR DATA ANALYSIS IN PARTICLE PHYSlCS EXPERIMENTS : THE HBOOK / HPLOT PACKAGE 

      Brun, R.; Palazzi, P. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      HBOOK is a subroutine package to handle statistical distributions (histograms and scatter plots) in a FORTRAN scientific computation environment. It presents results graphically on the line printer, and can optionally draw ...

    • IMAGE MODELING ASPECTS OF NON-PROCEDURAL PARALLEL PROCESSING LANGUAGE 

      Enornoto, Hajime; Yonezaki, Naoki; Miyamura, Isao (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      Fundamental framework of image data modeling for image description and related high level non-procedural language are presented, Structure lines are introduced as invariant features of image to describe structure of images. ...

    • INTERACTIVE COMPUTER GRAPHICS IN COMPUTER-AIDED DECISION ANALYSIS 

      Carpano, Marie-Jose; Leduc-Leballeur, Andre (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      Two systems for computer-aided decision analysis are presented. In both of them the man-machine communication is achieved through graphical displays. The first one has been designed to facilitate interactive structural ...

    • KISS - AN EXPERIMENT IN THE DESIGN OF IMAGE SYNTHESIS SYSTEMS 

      GRAVE, M. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      During the last years, raster graphics have become more and more important, and there is a need in developing a new generation of graphic systems. In this paper a first experiment designed as a "raster extension" to an ...

    • A L G R A , AN ALGEBRAIC-GRAPHIC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE FOR MODELLING 

      Kiesewetter, Helmut (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      The programming language ALGRA is based on algebraicgraphic structures. The basic elements of ALGRA are binary formulas of these structures. As compared to DIGRA 73 abstract structural informations may be handled by ALGRA ...

    • A Low-Cost, Interactive 2D Graphics Package 

      Ehlers, Bryan L. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper is a proposal for a low-cost, 2 dimensional graphics design package. Its intent is to provide a naive computer-user with the essential tools of a sophisticated design station while emphasising friendly human-machine ...

    • MODELLING AND DISPLAY CONCEPTS IN A HIGH-LEVEL GRAPH I CS PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE 

      Mannhardt, Ch.; Schrack, G. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      The definition, manipulation and display of graphical data in an applications program can occur at different levels if graphical data are viewed as a hierarchy of output primitives. This paper discusses concepts of how ...

    • OPTIMIZED SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION IN SATELLITE GRAPHICS SYSTEMS 

      Cullmann, Norbert (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      Interactive computer graphics requires satellite systems. The two software techniques used today with these systems ('fixed-function' and 'programmable satellite') showed to be unsatisfactory. This paper points out refined ...

    • SGL - A GENERAL PURPOSE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM BUILT ON TOP OF A GKS IMPLEMENTATION 

      Cunha, J.D. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper presents the description of an interactive graphics system built on top of a GKS level 4 implementation. The system architecture is based on the notion of Process and the mainemphasis has been devoted to design ...

    • SURFACE FITTING BY MEANS OF SPLINES 

      Brunet, P. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      Algoritms related with surface interpolation use either global interpolants or local methods. When dealing with irregularly distributed data points, the former are usually cumbersome whereas the later may present continuity ...

    • TOWARDS THE INTEGRATED INTERACTIVE SYSTEM 

      Newman, William (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper describes the manner in which interactive systems can be expected to develop over the next few years, and discusses some of the implications for design methodology requirements. various influences are seen coming ...

    • TRIAL-AND-ERROR APPLICATIONS FOR INTERACTIVE DATA REPRESENTATION 

      Vincents, Bo (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper examines the advantages available to planners and experimental theorists of using computers to visualise their theories by generating a multiplicity of graphs interactively. The paper focuses on statistical ...
