    Scan Converting Extruded Lines at Ultra High Definition
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987) Willis, Philip; Watters, Geoff
    We consider the problem of generating freehand raster graphics pictures at ultra high definition (typically one gigapixel per picture) by scan converting extruded lines. We describe a fast scan conversion algorithm which is linear in final resolution and which incorporates a number of features to ensure high efficiency. Sample pictures and corresponding performance figures are included.

    UltraPaint: A New Approach to a Painting System
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987) Watters, Geoff; Willis, Philip
    The ideas underlying a Painting System being developed at the University of Bath are introduced. This differs from a conventional system in that ultra high definition pictures of upto 1 gigabyte may be created. We discuss approaches to implementing a number of standard paint program utilities in a form suited to our high definition method. Finally, we describe an algorithm for the rapid extrusion of brush strokes on a raster device.

    Graphical Interaction Management
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1987) Barn, Balbir S.; Willis, Philip
    Graphical interfaces and interactive graphical programmes are awkward to write because of a lack of top-down structure. A methodology for constructing graphical programs will be described, together with a system that generates the basic interaction requirements for such applications.
