A BIFOCAL DISPLAY TECHNIQUE FOR DATA PRESENTATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A technique for presenting data on a graphics display, while avoiding the inherent windowing problem of conventional v.d.u's is proposed. This technique is centered on the concept of spatial information management. Design ... -
CGM-CONCEPTS AND THEIR REALIZATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A discussion of special design concepts for CGM, the Berlin implementation of GKS and their realizations on various computers. -
CHITRA - A LOW COST 2-D GRAPHICS PACKAGE FOR THE DESIGN OF DISCRETE SYSTEMS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A general purpose 2-D graphics package termed CHITRA has been developed, to aid the design of discrete systems. CHITRA permits the rapid interactive description and design of multiterminal subsystems and links for their ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS FOR REGIONAL PLANNING: MONITORING WOODLAND RESOURCES BY A LAND INFORMATION SYSTEM
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)To satisfy the cartographic requirement for planning at a regional scale the Csi-Piemonte has developed a system for computer assisted production of thematic maps. The activity of the Csi-Piemonte is directed at the ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS FOR THE REMOTE-SENSING OF THE OCEAN SURFACE BY A HIGH-RESOLUTION RADAR
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A high-resolution microwave radar has the ability to resolve the ocean surface large-scale gravity waves or swell and to reveal their various properties (wavelength, velocity and period). Computer analysis and graphics ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS IN INTERACTIVE DISCRETE-EVENT SIMULATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)The use of computer graphics in the digital simulation of continuous and discrete-event systems has been repeatedly shown to confer many benefits. What is less common is the use of computer graphics to assist the user in ... -
A COMPUTER GRAPHICS PACKAGE FOR TEACHING CRYSTAL MORPHOLOGY
(The Eurographics Association, 1982) -
COMPUTER REPRESENTATION OF DEAF SIGN LANGUAGE
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A compact system for recording and transmitting messages in Sign will help to alleviate the disadvantages suffered by profoundly deaf children and support an improved cultural environment for deaf adults. This paper proposes ... -
COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN SYSTEM FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE PLANE FIGURES SHOE MAKING APPLICATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)"POK" is provided, through a purposely designed measuring appliance, for digitizing (in cylindrical coordinates) skew three-dimensional patterns in an automatic way as well as for carrying out an interactive 2D processing ... -
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIGH-LEVEL GRAPHICAL LANGUAGES IN DEALING WITH VARIOUS GRAPHICAL DOMAINS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)There are many domains in which graphical programming languages can be applied. Use of a particular graphical programing language will be limited if the domains in which it can be applied are restricted. High-level graphical ... -
A FAST ALGORITHM FOR COLOUR REGION SEGMENTATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)An algorithm is described which analyses colour scenes in terms of regions. These regions are defined to have the same 'colour'. In this context the colour of a region is determined by its position in the CIE chromaticity ... -
GENERATING AND PRINTING OF HIGH QUALITY DOCUMENTS IN A DISTRIBUTED OFFICE AUTOMATION NETWORK ENVIRONMENT
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)This paper analyses the process of creating a printed document, which includes text processing, formatting and printing. Corresponding file formats, soft-copy generation algorithms as well as requirements of high quality ... -
GKS in C
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A binding of GKS, the draft ISO standard for 2D graphics software, to the programming language C is presented, together with the principles underlying its design. The binding is compared with the binding to FORTRAN. An ... -
GRAPH: An Interactive Program based on the Graphical Kernel System
(The Eurographics Association, 1982) -
GRAPHIC DISPLAYS IN THE COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OF LIFT SYSTEMS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)The sizing of lift systems to meet passenger demands is normally carried out in a quantitative way by calculation. Nothing is done to determine the quality of service provided. This paper describes how a computer aided ... -
THE IMPORTANCE OF A CORRECT APPROACH TO THE DESIGN OF METAFILES STANDARDS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982) -
INTERACTIVE GENERATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTER GRAPHICS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A new technology employing a vibrating mirror produces spacefilling images. An observer views a reflection of a CRT in a moving mirror. By displaying a proper sequence of pictures 30 times a second, a space filling ... -
INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS IN THE ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC UTILITY NETWORKS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)This paper describes a suite of programs which have been developed in close collaboration with the appropriate public utilities; electricity supply, water and gas industries. The techniques are based on interactive computing ... -
MEASURES OF OPERATOR S VISUAL ACCOMMODATION AND CONVERGENCE TO INFORMATION DISPLAYS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)Measurements of a display user s lens accommodation and binocular convergence were used to assess the visual impact of display color, display technology, display work time, and display contrast. The studies reported here ... -
A METHODOLOGY FOR POPULATING DEFAULT COLOR MAPS
(The Eurographics Association, 1982)A standard for using colors in computer graphics systems is proposed. A key aspect of this proposed standard is to allow two different levels of access to colors. At the first level, colors are selected from a standard ...
