    • KISS - AN EXPERIMENT IN THE DESIGN OF IMAGE SYNTHESIS SYSTEMS 

      GRAVE, M. (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • A Low-Cost, Interactive 2D Graphics Package 

      Ehlers, Bryan L. (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • OPTIMIZED SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION IN SATELLITE GRAPHICS SYSTEMS 

      Cullmann, Norbert (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      Interactive computer graphics requires satellite systems. The two software techniques used today with these systems ('fixed-function' and 'programmable satellite') showed to be unsatisfactory. This paper points out refined ...

    • SGL - A GENERAL PURPOSE INTERACTIVE SYSTEM BUILT ON TOP OF A GKS IMPLEMENTATION 

      Cunha, J.D. (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 ...

    • SURFACE FITTING BY MEANS OF SPLINES 

      Brunet, P. (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • TRIAL-AND-ERROR APPLICATIONS FOR INTERACTIVE DATA REPRESENTATION 

      Vincents, Bo (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper examines the advantages available to planners and experimental theorists of using computers to visualise their theories by generating a multiplicity of graphs interactively. The paper focuses on statistical ...

    • 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 ...
