- --= ABSTRACT ===============================================--
- -- The Graphic Kernel System (GKS) is a device independent
- -- software package which implements the draft GKS binding to ANSI Ada
- -- for GKS levels Ma, Oa, 1a, 2a, Mb, Ob, 1b, Mc, and 1c. GKS/Ada will
- -- support selective visibility, independent VDI and VDM interfaces, the
- -- configuration of multiple graphic device drivers, and independent
- -- packaging of the various GKS levels.
- --
- -- The complete GKS will include a prototype metafile
- -- generator/driver, and a metafile interpreter. Device-dependent
- -- software must be included to drive the Lexidata color rastor device
- -- and the Summagraphics graphics tablet. Ada software to support
- -- contour processing requirements, including grid generation,
- -- mathematical interpolation and contour map generation needs to be
- -- developed. Also, the GKS and provides for the delivery of WIS-
- -- compatible equipment capable of high quality 35mm color slides
- -- directly from graphics displays.
