Book Description
Abstract: "In an attempt to provide powerful 3D graphics in a windowing environment, PHIGS, PHIGS PLUS, and PEX have been developed. PHIGS and PHIGS PLUS provide an environment for producing complex 3D images. PEX incorporates this environment into the X Window system. This thesis discusses UIPEX -- the University of Illinois implementation of PEX. The main focus of the thesis is on the implementation of the application programmer interface level. Implementation issues and alternatives are discussed, as well as the rationale behind decisions that were made in the implementation. In addition, a critique of PHIGS is given with possible alternatives for overcoming some of the inherent weaknesses in PHIGS."

A Critical Evaluation of PEX from a PHIGS Implementation Perspective
Author: Kelvin Sung
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computer graphics
Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Abstract: "This paper evaluates PEX, the PHIGS extension to the X Window System, from the context of assumptions in the PHIGS output, modeling, input, user interface, and system environment. New problems not previoulsy discussed arise when examining PEX this way. These problems are interesting because they not only pertain to the implementation of PEX, they apply to implementing a 3D library in a distributed windowing system in general. The University of Illinois PEX implementation is used as a reference to discuss the solutions we propose."

Scientific Visualization
Author: K.W. Brodlie
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364276942X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
Background A group of UKexperts on Scientific Visualization and its associated applications gathered at The Cosener's House in Abingdon, Oxford shire (UK) in February 1991 to consider all aspects of scientific visualization and to produce a number of documents: • a detailed summary of current knowledge, techniques and appli cations in the field (this book); • an Introductory Guide to Visualization that could be widely dis tributed to the UK academic community as an encouragement to use visualization techniques and tools in their work; • a Management Report (to the UK Advisory Group On Computer Graphics - AGOCG) documenting the principal results of the workshop and making recommendations as appropriate. This book proposes a framework through which scientific visualiza tion systems may be understood and their capabilities described. It then provides overviews of the techniques, data facilities and human-computer interface that are required in a scientific visualiza tion system. The ways in which scientific visualization has been applied to a wide range of applications is reviewed and the available products that are scientific visualization systems or contribute to sci entific visualization systems are described. The book is completed by a comprehensive bibliography of literature relevant to scientific visualization and a glossary of terms. VI Scientific Visualization Acknowledgements This book was predominantly written during the workshop in Abingdon. The participants started from an "input document" pro duced by Ken Brodlie, Lesley Ann Carpenter, Rae Earnshaw, Julian Gallop (with Janet Haswell), Chris Osland and Peter Quarendon.
