Graphic image handling in a multi-media system

Published:10 November 1975Publication History

ABSTRACT

The Graphics Subroutine Package (GSP) developed at the Madison Academic Computing Center provides the software needed to generate or manipulate graphic images on the MACC central computer and direct the output to several different local or remote devices. MACC provides batch processing and timesharing services both locally and remotely via telephone communications lines. A goal is to make graphics services easily accessable with the least possible amount of user effort under either the batch processing or timesharing modes of operation.

By careful attention to default parameter settings and built-in sensitivity to the users operating mode, the GSP works equally well for creating plotter output or interactive graphic terminal displays without program changes.
