A Computer Graphics Package
Abstract
In scientific research graphical output from computer programs in essential and can be easily obtained usig the subroutines described. This graphics of package provides comprehensive facilities for two and three dimensional work and is largely device independent. The subroutines can be considered in three groups as follows: 1) The main routines which actually create a picture; 2) The supporting routines which modify the actual behavior of the main routines; 3) Device dependent routines which are not normally used directly by the application but available if required; and 4) Special routines which are not intended for general use. A general purpose graphics package is described. The package is an updated version of a graphics library first developed in 1969 on an ICL-1900 series computer (described in AUWE Acc 35647) and in use continuously since that time with various modifications and informal documentation improvements. It is currently implemented on a DEC-MicroVAX computer and various hardware devices including the HP series of plotters (using HPGL), Regis devices (VT125, VT340), DEC Workstation, LN03 laser printer, and certain Ramtek, Sigma and Tektronix devices. Keywords: Great Britain.
