At present, object-oriented programming is emerging from the
research labora tories and invading into the field of industrial
applications. More and more products have been implemented with the
aid of object-oriented programming techniques and tools, usually as
extensions of traditional languages in hybrid development systems.
Some of the better known examples are OSF-Motif, News, Objective-C
on the NeXT computer, the C extension C++, and CLOS an object
oriented extension of LISP. All of these developments incorporate
interactive graphics. Effective object-oriented systems in
combination with a graphics kernel does it mean that the field of
computer graphics has now become merely an aspect of the
object-oriented world? We do not think so. In spite of interesting
individual developments, there are still no sound object-oriented
graphics sys tems available. If it is desired to develop a complex
graphics application embed ded in a window-oriented system then it
is still necessary to work with elemen tary tools. What is to be
displayed and interactively modified inside a window must be
specified with a set of graphics primitives at a low level, or has
to be written with a standardized graphics kernel system such as
GKS or PHIGS, i. e. , by kernels specified and implemented in a
non-object-oriented style. With the terms GKS and PHIGS we enter
the world of international graphics standards. GKS and PHIGS
constitute systems, not mere collections of graphics primitives.
