GRAPHICS

Abstract

Efforts in the Graphics Program have continued to concentrate on the development of the Graphical Service System and VITAL, a compiler-compiler. The latter program is now operational. Development of a debugging system which utilizes graphics as a central communications medium has been initiated. In an effort to improve the methods of generating points, lines, and general conic sections in display systems, a simple waveform generator has been designed, based on homogeneous coordinate mathematics. The hardware problems in the implementation of this design are being investigated. A three-dimensional ultra-sonic position-sensing device has been installed in TX-2 and initial evaluation is under way.
