    • 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 ...

    • A TV GRAPHICS DISPLAY FOR THE MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE 

      Anderssen, P.S.; Shering, G.; Stumpe, B. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      The paper describes a graphical display system based on TV raster scan. Refresh signals to the TV monitors are supplied by a dedicated CAMAC module containing a digital store with one storage element per pixel. The display ...

    • 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. ...

    • APPLICATIONS OF AN INTERACTIVE VECTOR GRAPHICS SYSTEM TO CHEMISTRY 

      WEBER, J.; BERNARDINELLI, G.; COMBREMONT, J.J.; ROCH, M. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper describes several applications to chemistry of a computer graphics equipment based on a mini-computer and an interactive vector graphics system. After a presentation of the hardware and software available, the ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • COMPUTER GRAPHICS IN MULTIPLE MICROPROCESSOR SYSTEM 

      Ae, Tadashi; Takahashi, Koichi; Chiba, Haruyoshi; Ito, Tsurumi (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      In this paper we propose a method to implement the moving patterns which are consecutively related in a small computer system. Suppose that the patterns are constructed of many block elements. A pattern is derived by the ...

    • 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 ...
