COMPUTER GRAPHICS AND ARCHITECTURE
(The Eurographics Association, 1980)Because computer-generated architectural drawings derive from common data bases, they can be more useful than those drawn manually. Beyond viewing functions, other operations (such as financial, spatial, and thermal analyses) ... -
KISS - AN EXPERIMENT IN THE DESIGN OF IMAGE SYNTHESIS SYSTEMS
(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 ... -
THE GHOST-80 INTERACTIVE METAFILE
(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 ... -
SURFACE FITTING BY MEANS OF SPLINES
(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 ... -
GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THE ODYSSEY PROJECT
(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 ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS APPLIED TO HUMAN MOTION ANALYSIS AND BODY FORCE EVALUATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1980)The human body motions during standing up and sitting down from/to a chair are analyzed employing a minicomputer system equipped with a graphic tablet and CRT displays. A two-dimensional mathematical model of the human ... -
THE DESIGN OF A GENERAL-PURPOSE COMMAND INTERPRETER FOR GRAPHICAL MAN-MACHINE COMMUNICATION TO BE BUILT ON TOP OF A GKS
(The Eurographics Association, 1980)A model of a general purpose graphical command interpreter (KI) is presented. It is based on the graphical kernel system (GKS) and provides the user with the most common set of commands for solving graphical problems in a ... -
SGL - A GENERAL PURPOSE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM BUILT ON TOP OF A GKS IMPLEMENTATION
(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 ... -
A Low-Cost, Interactive 2D Graphics Package
(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 ...
