More and more products have been implemented with the aid of object-oriented programming techniques and tools, usually as extensions of traditional languages in hybrid development systems. Some of the better known examples are OSF-Motif, News, Objective-C on the NeXT computer, the C extension C++, and CLOS an object- oriented extension of LISP. All of these developments incorporate interactive graphics. Effective object-oriented systems in combination with a graphics kernel- does it mean that the field of computer graphics has now become merely an aspect of the object-oriented world? We do not think so. In spite of interesting individual developments, there are still no sound object-oriented graphics sys- tems available. If it is desired to develop a complex graphics application embed- ded in a window-oriented system then it is still necessary to work with elemen- tary tools. What is to be displayed and interactively modified inside a window must be specified with a set of graphics primitives at a low level, or has to be written with a standardized graphics kernel system such as GKS or PHIGS, i. e., by kernels specified and implemented in a non-object-oriented style. With the terms GKS and PHIGS we enter the world of international graphics standards. GKS and PHIGS constitute systems, not mere collections of graphics primitives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282265825431,"sku":"9783642842498","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642842498.webp?v=1769301642","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/object-oriented-graphics-from-gks-and-phigs-to-object-oriented-systems-9783642842498","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
