| (graphics, language) | Graphics Language Object System - (GLOS) A language with statements for
describing graphics objects (line, circle, polygon, etc.),
written by Michael J McLean and Brian Hicks at the University
of Queensland, St. Lucia in 1978. New objects are defined
using procedures. 2-D transformations are context dependent
and may be nested. [M.J. McLean, "The Semantics of Computer Drafting Languages", PhD thesis, University of Queensland, 1978]. [Hicks, B.W., and McLean, M.J. "A Graphic Language for Describing Line Objects", Proceedings of the DECUS-Australia August 1973 Symposium, Melbourne, 1973]. |
