Download or read book The Computer Graphics Metafile written by L.R. Henderson and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Computer Graphics Metafile deals with the Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) standard and covers topics ranging from the structure and contents of a metafile to CGM functionality, metafile elements, and real-world applications of CGM. Binary Encoding, Character Encoding, application profiles, and implementations are also discussed. This book is comprised of 18 chapters divided into five sections and begins with an overview of the CGM standard and how it can meet some of the requirements for storage of graphical data within a graphics system or application environment. The reader is then introduced to the practice of using the CGM and the nature of the CGM, its aims, and what is defined in the standard. The following chapters focus on the players, the rules, and the game; the abstract functionality of the CGM; descriptor elements for metafiles and pictures; coordinates, primitives, and attributes; and encodings and implementation considerations. Clear Text Encoding, Binary Encoding, Character Encoding, and application profiles are also explored. The final chapter looks at the use of GKS, GKS-3D, and PHIGS to generate and interpret CGMs. This monograph will be a valuable resource for computer graphics students and professionals as well as software engineers and computer programmers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For several years the authors of this book have been involved in the design and the national and international review of the forthcoming graphical standard. When the end of this process could be foreseen and the International Standard "Graphical Kernel System" (GKS) was cast into its. final form, the urgent need arose for detailed information to the graphics community about this stan dard and for the education of graphics programmers. One major goal of GKS, besides the portability of graphical application programs and the device inde pendence, is "programmer portability" by establishing a common base for train ing of graphics programmers. Having accompanied the path of GKS from the very early stages of defining the basic concepts and designing its first versions up to the final draft of the International Standard, we feIt it worthwhile to start the venture of a text book on computer graphics programming based on GKS. This book is aimed, at one hand, at graphics users, experts and managers who want to get an overview of the new standard and a better understanding of its concepts. On the other hand, it addresses the graphics programmers who want to use GKS for realizing their graphical applications. It can serve as the base for teaching and studying functions, concepts and methods of GKS. Addi tionally, it will be a valuable source of information for implementors of GKS.

This book was released on 1986-08-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karst Systems deal with the question of how the subsurface drainage system, typical of Karst areas develops from its initial state to maturity. Equal attention is given to physical, chemical and geological conditions which determine karstification. The reader will find discussions of mass transport, chemical kinetics, hydrodynamics of fluxes, and the role of dissolution and precipitation of Calcite as they occur in experiments and natural environments. It offers a wealth of information on a complex natural system to hydrologists, hydrochemists, geologists and geographers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ISO Standards for Computer Graphics: The First Generation discusses the expected standards in the quality of computer graphics; the aspects and examples of said standards; and the materials from the standards being described. The book is divided into six parts. Part 1 covers topics such as the applicability of first-generation ISO standards; software architecture; application program interface, device interface, metafile, archive, and language binding standards; and the ISO and its related bodies. Part 2 deals with topics such as output primitives and attributes, coordinate systems, and storage mechanisms. The third part talks about language bindings, encodings, and formal specifications. The fourth part tackles validation and testing; conformance testing of graphic standards; and the registration of graphical items. The book also discusses the status and future direction of ISO standards for computer graphics; it also presents in the last part the bibliography of the included topics, glossary on related bodies, and the formal specification of a part of GKS. The text is recommended for computer engineers, IT experts, and graphic designers who would like to know the ISO standards for computer graphics and its implications in their practice.

Download or read book CGM and CGI written by David B. Arnold and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have written this book principally for users and practitioners of computer graphics. In particular, system designers, independent software vendors, graphics system implementers, and application program developers need to understand the basic standards being put in place at the so-called Virtual Device Interface and how they relate to other industry standards, both formal and de facto. Secondarily, the book has been targetted at technical managers and advanced students who need some understanding of the graphics standards and how they fit together, along with a good overview of the Computer Graphics Interface (CGI) proposal and Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM) standard in particular. Part I, Chapters 1,2, and 3; Part II, Chapters 10 and 11; Part III, Chapters 15, 16, and 17; and some of the Appendices will be of special interest. Finally, these same sections will interest users in government and industry who are responsible for selecting, buying and installing commercial implementations of the standards. The CGM is already a US Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS 126), and we expect the same status for the CGI when its development is completed and it receives formal approval by the standards-making bodies.
