Synopsis

The Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS), has become the standard language for graphics programming succeeding the previous market leader and ISO standard -GKS. This book is a practical tutorial on how to write graphics applications using PHIGS and PHIGS+. It covers the basic theory of PHIGS and 3D graphics including colour theory, transformations, splines and rendering, and also contains examples of how to implement practical graphics functionality such as using structure networks, creating viewing transformations and using input devices in a real application environment. The numerous example programs cover both the ISO C and FORTRAN language bindings. The text contains eight pages of colour plates, and has six appendices of reference.
