Graphics Subsystem for a Terminal with Conic Section Capabilities

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to design and implement a graphic subsystem for a graphic display terminal with conic section capabilities. The display terminal with its associated peripheral hardware is connected to a PDP-11/50 computer. The basic concepts and design principles of graphic systems are discussed. A brief description is given of the particular hardware configuration of the Conographic-12 display system as installed at the Naval Postgraduate School. Concepts incorporated in the designed implementation are explained. Recommendations are included for possible future extensions of the system's capabilities.
