Flight Systems Raster Graphics Software Reference Manual.

Abstract

Flight simulation work at Aeronautical Research Labs. (Melbourne, Australia) employs raster graphics for both the presentation of visual scenes with limited dynamic content and for the replication of both flight instruments and sensor displays. The raster graphics system consists of an LSI-11/23 microprocessor (functioning as host) and three A.R.L. designed controller units coupled to RGBS monitors, and is connected through the LSI-11/23 to the Flight Simulation Group VAX-11/780 computer. This memorandum describes the raster graphic system, and four software packages which are available to enable a VAX user to create and manipulate pictures. These packages are: RJRLSI, which runs in the LSI-11/23 for communication; LSILOAD, for loading and executing LSI programs; FLISGRAPH, a set of subroutines for creating and manipulating pictures; and MANPIX, a utility program which provides a versatile range of picture manipulation capabilities through a simple set of commands. Originator supplied keywords include: Computer graphics, and computer program documentation.
