- -- 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
- ----------------: interprete. 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.
- ----------------:
- ----------------: This tool was developed as a precursor for
- ----------------: the WMCCS Information System (WIS). An
- ----------------: executable version of the tool has been
- ----------------: demonstrated. This source code has sub-
- ----------------: sequently been recompiled but has not under-
- ----------------: gone extensive testing.
