Graphics in the Views system

Year: 1992

Type: other

Abstract: The Views system is a new computing environment currently under development.One of its many facets is a graphics facility enabling structured picture objects to be easily entered and manipulated.Such pictures can be included as illustrations in text, as icons in the user interface and ultimately as the specification of all the visible aspects of the system; menus, scroll-bars, windows and so on.Views graphics objects can also be linked to other Views objects with invariants, resulting in pictures that automatically react to changes within other parts of the system.This document outlines the Views system and describes some of the design and implementation issues of the graphics facilities.
