Some raster graphics extensions to the Core System

Authors Info & Claims
Published:01 August 1979Publication History

ABSTRACT

The Core System is a proposed standard subroutine package for line-drawing graphics. We present some Core System extensions for use with raster graphics equipment. The extensions, which are upward-compatible with the present Core System, provide filled polygons, display of arrays of pixels, use of a color look-up table, and hidden-surface or hidden-edge removal. The extensions are being intergrated into an existing Core System implementation.
