Implementation of an Interactive Graphics Display in a Multiprogramming Environment

Abstract

This thesis is a summary of the design and implementation of an operating system interface and a user interface for an interactive graphics display system. The actual interface software and documentation are characteristic of the Naval Postgraduate School environment. Documents describing the actual software and user interface are published separately. The general problems and solutions involved in implementing a real-time interactive graphics process in a multiprogramming environment are included herein. The problems and solutions discussed are related to the interface of a Vector General Graphics Display Unit and a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-11/50 computer. Recommendations for possible future developments are also included.
