GRAPHICAL SUPPORT IN A USER INTERFACE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)SYNICS2 is a User Interface Management System (UIMS) using the concept of Recursive Transition Networks (RTN) for its control structure. It is used as an intelligence terminal would be, being situated between the computer ... -
AN APPROACH TO THE DESIGN OF HARDWARE CURVE GENERATORS FOR GRAPHIC DISPLAYS
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)Special devices to generate curves are more and more convenient because of ever growing performance graphic tools are requested for. In this paper an approach to the design of fast hardware curve generators is proposed, ... -
BILEVEL DISPLAY SCREEN PRESENTATION OF TEXT, GRAPHICS AND IMAGES FOR PAGE MAKE-UP WORK
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)Limitations in resolution of bilevel display screens and processing power of processors call for special considerations in the design of computerised tools for make-up of document and newspaper pages. Here we discuss and ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS PRODUCTION AS A BUSINESS
(The Eurographics Association, 1984) -
DRAWING OF AN UNUSUAL KIND OF DIAGRAMS - NOMOGRAM DRAWING
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)Diagram drawing has traditionally been a major part of computer graphics applications. During the last few years we have seen new trends in this area. The quality of diagram drawing has increased and diagrams has been used ... -
STEPS TO EFFECTIVE BUSINESS GRAPHICS
(The Eurographics Association, 1984) -
A TWO-DIMENSIONAL CLIPPING DIVIDER
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)The clipping problem is the heart of a lot of algorithms to produce computer generated images. Sutherland and Hodgman proposed a reentrant clipping algorithm ; we propose here two solutions to achieve a true two-dimensional ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS FOR VISUALIZING SIMULATION RESULTS
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)Computer graphics techniques for visualizing the following simulation results are developed: (1) lighting designs for different type sources such as point sources, linear sources, area sources, and polyhedron sources, (2) ... -
HOW INTELLIGENT CAN BUSINESS GRAPHICS SOFTWARE BE?
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)This paper justifies the question posed in its title, by pointing out some of the reasons which make the use of a "quasi" automatic system necessary, when customized performances of the intelligence built in a business ... -
THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTER GRAPHICS CURRICULA FOR DESIGN EDUCATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)With the imminent availability of low cost, high resolution computer graphics systems suitable for visual and graphic arts applications, design education must now come to terms with radical changes in design methodology ... -
DIRECT CADD DRAWING (A Flexible Screen Oriented user interface to CADD)
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)Computer aided design/drafting (CADD) system developers are taking advantage of the latest developments in personal computing and human factors research by including icon (picture) driven, direct manipulation menus in a ... -
COMPUTER GRAPHICS DEVELOPMENT IN EUROPE
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)Europe is becoming aware that a political determination to collaborate is required, if it wants to attain the position it could claim on the basis of its research achievements. This is especially true in the field of ... -
SHAPING THE FUTURE A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO MIS PLANNING
(The Eurographics Association, 1984) -
THE DESIGN OF A USER INTERFACE FOR A CAM APPLICATION
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)This paper describes a user interface which has been designed for the rough environment of a workshop floor. It has a strictly hierarchical structure of the commands, but allows a lot of context-free operator's actions and ... -
SUDS - SUrface Description System
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)A library of routines has been developed for the design of arbitrarily curved three-dimensional surfaces. The routines provide for the description and editing of surfaces. Surfaces are defined by families of parametric ... -
INTERACTIVE EDITING OF POLYGONS
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)This paper describes an internal data structure which can be used in interactive editing of polygons. A user can delete, restore, split and merge polygons and change type and direction of polygons. The polygons that are ... -
TWO DISPLAY ALGORITHMS FOR OCTTREES
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)This paper deals with the problem of the fast display of a three dimensional object that is represented by an Octtree with the Octtree encoded as a simple linear structure without pointers. Two algorithms are described: ... -
THE COMPUTER GRAPHICS SCENE IN THE UNITED STATES
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)We briefly survey the major thrusts of computer graphics activities, examining trends and topics rather than offering a comprehensive survey of all that is happening. The directions of professional activities, hardware, ... -
GENERATING HIGH QUALITY PICTURES BY RAY-TRACING
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)Ray-casting techniques provide a very general framework in which many problems can be solved in a much easier way than with conventional methods. This is particularly true for the illumination model when a high level of ... -
NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND VIDEO DISPLAY OF DYNAMIC PROBLEMS
(The Eurographics Association, 1984)The increasing ability of computers to digest and regurgitate numerical results requires graphic displays which allow new and complex problems to be dealt with. In this paper we present software designed to study phenomena ...
