EZDRAW. An Interactive Computer Graphics Program to Design Bar, Line, or Pie Graphs.

Abstract

This study initiates the development of an interactive computer graphics system. This included the integration of off-the-shelf CORE standard graphics software for use on several computer graphics refresh and raster display devices. The system was implemented on a Digital Equipment Corporation VAX 11/780 mini-computer in standard FORTRAN 77. The system's requirements and top-level design specifications were generated following a study of graphics design concepts. The operational requirements of Precision Visuals' DI-3000 and GRAFMAKER software packages were interfaced with the system requirements to obtain the system level design specifications. The concepts of good interactive man-machine communication were included in the final design. This produced a reliable graphics system responsive to designers of bar, line, or pie graphs. The system was designed using structured analysis and design techniques which will allow a follow-on study to implement recommended modifications or enhancements from the supporting graphics software.
