    • Graphics Standards - Where are we ? 

      Hagen, Paul J.W. ten (The Eurographics Association, 1981)
      An overview is given of the state of the standardization efforts of ISO/TC97/SC5/WG2, which currently concentrate on GKS. The standardization activities are illustrated by presenting a recently incorporated concept of ...

    • A GKS IMPLEMENTATION FOR METEOROLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 

      Ducrot, A.; Lemaire, A.; Watkins, H. (The Eurographics Association, 1981)
      In this paper we describe a GKS implementation made at ECMWF and we point out some problems encountered related to the definition of GKS 6.2 and to the necessity to adapt to the meteorogical applications.

    • TIME AND SPACE BOUNDS FOR HIDDEN LINE AND HIDDEN SURFACE ALGORITHMS 

      Schmitt, Alfred (The Eurographics Association, 1981)
      Asymptotic worst case time bounds for three hidden line algorithms are derived and analysed. The first algorithm is a brute force solution that needs at least quadratic time. The second exact hidden line algorithm is based ...

    • MOVIE.BYU - 1981 

      Christiansen, H. N.; Stephenson, M. B.; Nay, B. J.; Ervin, D. G.; Hales, R. F. (The Eurographics Association, 1981)
      MOVIE.BYU facilitates the display of three-dimensional mathematical, topological, and architectural models as line drawings or as continuous tone shaded images. This software provides the capability to clip and cap three ...

    • A Revolution in Hardware Systems Design and its Implications for the Graphics Community 

      Clark, James H. (The Eurographics Association, 1981)

    • THE IMPACT OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS ON INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 

      Vlietstra, J. (The Eurographics Association, 1981)

    • ABSTRACT DATA TYPE BASED PROGRAMMING STYLE AND COMPUTER GRAPHICS 

      Giloi, W. K. (The Eurographics Association, 1981)
      The next generation of "intelligent" industrial robots will necessitate off-line programming systems in which generative graphics (picture generation) and cognitive graphics (picture understanding) is combined. This will ...

    • FAST COLOUR RASTER GRAPHICS USING AN ARRAY PROCESSOR 

      Walsby, Anthony M. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      This paper shows how an array processor technique can be used as the basis of an animated (fast) colour raster display. It is amenable to expansion for more colours, greater speed and resolution, and large scale integration ...

    • 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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • COMPUTROL IN FLIGHT SIMULATION 

      Ranjbaran, Sam E.; Swallow, Ron J. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      Computrol is a prototype computer image generator being developed by Advanced Technology Systems, a division of the Austin Company. Its high speed architecture, and allocation of certain image generation functions to hard- ...

    • F.I.R.S.T., A HIGH RESOLUTION RASTER SCAN DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR INTERACTIVE LAYOUT OF TEXT AND FIGURES 

      Röthlisberger, H.; Rakotomalala, J. (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      F.I.R.S.T. (Fast Interactive Raster scan workSTation) is designed as a low cost high performance display for interactive applications. Low cost is achieved by using dynamic memories, and high performance implies a high ...

    • A CAD - SYSTEM FOR INTERACTIVE GRAPHICAL HANDLING OF HIERARCHICAL BLOCK DIAGRAM INFORMATION 

      Leinemann, Klaus (The Eurographics Association, 1980)
      The CAD - system named GRIMBI is designed to support the functional modelling of large engineering systems. GRIMBI includes a data definition facility, to define model classes functionally and graphically. The data ...
