Abstract
A method is presented for generating operational graphic and computational data sets from an arbitrary arrangement of symbols on a computer graphic display console. Graphical data sets are formed by first developing the desired engineering symbols by means of the GRAF language, and then structuring the symbol reference points, types, and identifiers by a unique dot-grid display. Computational data sets are then formed by relating the design parameters and computational steps to the graphical data sets by assigning state points to the display of symbols on the CRT.
