In providing background information on display technology, this paper discusses cathode-ray tube characteristics and interactive devices as they affect the user. Described are the display functions of the IBM 2250 display console, which is used in many applications. Some elementary aspects of image generation are presented, and the current and potential capability of displays is discussed.

G101 - A Remote Time Share Terminal with Graphic Output Capabilities
A remote terminal with graphical output capability has been designed for use with time-shared computer systems. The terminal contains a small computer to provide local picture storage and the ability…
Increasing Capabilities in Interactive Computer Graphics Terminals
The earliest interactive computer graphics terminals were closely coupled to their central computers and placed heavy loads upon them for resource allocation. Two marked trends in the evolution of…
Scan conversion algorithms for a cell organized raster display
TLDR
Two fundamentally different scan conversion algorithms which have been developed to support this display are presented and show that the noninteractive algorithms can significantly reduce display file storage requirements at little cost in execution time over that of a conventional raster display.
A cell organized raster display for line drawings
TLDR
A display is described which extends the capabilities of this organization to include general graphics, and the feasibility of such a display is shown by deriving the minimum number of patterns required in the read only memory of the character generator to synthesize an arbitrary line.
A true three-dimensional display
A new three-dimensional (3D) display concept is described that employs a random accessed flying spot in a transparent volume of material viewable from any position outside the volume. Arbitrary, true…
Data structures for computer graphics
This paper introduces data structures as applied to computer graphics. Design criteria for computer graphics data structures are discussed, followed by a comparison of general-purpose and tailored…
Interactive generation and interpretation of artificial pictures
  • Shaw
  • Computer Science, Art
  • 1969
TLDR
The design of a general set of user facilities for the on-line generation and interpretation of pictures, the interactive graphics language, the command and control language, as opposed to the language used to implement it is presented.
GEMS - a graphical experimental meta system
TLDR
A model for graphical systems with a linguistic base is presented; the model provides symmetry between recognition and generation of pictures, although emphasizing generation.
Interactive Saturn Flight Program Simulator
TLDR
Interactive Saturn flight simulation discussed in this paper tests all normal and perturbed launch vehicle interactions with the mission computer and programs to find and correct programming problems.
Increasing Capabilities in Interactive Computer Graphics Terminals
The earliest interactive computer graphics terminals were closely coupled to their central computers and placed heavy loads upon them for resource allocation. Two marked trends in the evolution of…

The RAND tablet: a man-machine graphical communication device
TLDR
A number of separate research projects are underway, aimed at investigating ways of improving the languages by which man communicates with the computer, and at developing more useful and more versatile communication channels.
The Lincoln WAND
TLDR
The extremely large working space in which the WAND can operate allows it to be used for an entirely new set of pointing functions not directly connected with a display as well as the normal display control functions.
Sketchpad III: a computer program for drawing in three dimensions
TLDR
The Sketchpad III System described here shares many features and routines with the Sketchpad System described in the preceding paper by Sutherland, but the extension of graphical techniques from two to three dimensions introduces many added requirements.
Textile graphics applied to textile printing
TLDR
Textile Graphics is a computer-aided technique for developing a textile design and textile patterning mechanism information from an artist's drawing by a combination of graphical input devices.
Modeling in Three-Dimensions
Discussed are two computer programs for generating and realistically plotting any view of a three-dimensional object from the same object description, thereby simulating the viewpoints of a person…
Sketchpad: a man-machine graphical communication system
TLDR
The Sketchpad system makes it possible for a man and a computer to converse rapidly through the medium of line drawings, and opens up a new area of man-machine communication.
A Multilevel Modeling Structure for Interactive Graphic Design
TLDR
The use of separate models for each phase of a computer graphics design system is suggested, providing a general model for the conversational drawing phase which is suitable as a front end in many different application areas.
