A Proposal for a Distributed Model of GKS Based on Prolog

Milanese, V. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

The Graphical Kernel System GKS is so well established as a standard for graphics programming that quite a number of models for multiprocessor and distributed environments have already been suggested. It is therefore ...

Construction of Interactive Programs in Computer Graphics

Dufourd, Jean-Francois (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

In interactive computer graphics, one often finds a gap between sophisticated algorithms, using very high level data structures, and poor methods of program and object construction. Particular programming languages are too ...

Planar Convex Hull Algorithms in Theory and Practice

Day, A. M. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

Sequential and parallel planar convex hull algorithms, their applications and some of the problems encountered on implementations are described. Details of Pascal implementations are given for three of the sequential ...

3D Images of Molecular Properties by Triangulation of Contour Lines

Roch, Michel; Weber, Jacques; Pellegrini, Christian (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

Computer programs have been developed to display molecular properties on a raster scan device, both as 2D colour-filled contour maps and as 3D solid models. Starting from 2D contour values calculated in parallel molecular ...

Colour Raster Operations

Willis, P. J.; Walters, G. W. (Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1988)

We propose a form of three-input BitBlt/RasterOp which is useful for pictures constructed in a colour-mapped form as well as in true colour. The model used for this is that of a piece of potentially multicoloured paper on ...
