Computer graphics by example, Part 4. PICTURE: a picture-drawing language for the TRIX/RED report editor. [For CDC 7600]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5919209
PICTURE is a set of statements for drawing diagrams that are compiled by PCOMP, the Picture COMPiler, and plotted by REDPP, the TRIX/RED PostProcessor. The PICTURE/PCOMP/REDPP system is also useful for constructing slides, viewgraphs, and movie titles. This report, written for the new PICTURE user, covers, by example, the use of the most common PICTURE statements, the intermixing of text and pictures (the TRIX/RED WINDOW command), and the TRIX PICTURE and EXAMINE dialects. The examples illustrate in detail the many direct and indirect ways the user can call PCOMP and REDPP. PICTURE, the TRIX/RED report editor, PCOMP, and REDPP are available in public files on the CDC 7600 computers of the Livermore Timesharing System (the Octopus network). 6 figures, 1 table.
