ASGOL-An ALGOL-Structured Graphics Oriented Language.

Abstract

An ALGOL-like graphics oriented language and system was designed to provide a block-structured format to graphics programs. The system was developed with an LR(1) parsing procedure technique, and graphs are constructed using the DISSPLA software package as the 'host' to generate device-independent plot files. The language produces linear, bar and pie graphs, as well as having a text processor to draw a variety of character styles and fonts for documentation. (Author)
