The data structure and algorithms have been designed to exploit SIMD parallel architectures. Images of lines, discs and circles can be created efficiently. Images can be translated, scaled, and combined. The data structure is closely related to runlength encodement. The algorithms have been implemented on an ICL DAP on which the operations can be done in real time (on non-trivial images).10.1111/j.1467-8659.1986.tb00296.x179-188
