Abstract

In SIGMICRO Newsletter, Vol. 3, Nr. 1 Andries van Dam defined the term "Interactive Computer Graphics" (graphics) and divided its applications into the two broad categories "interactive plotting" and "interactive design". In this paper, we want to suggest a system, which provides all those "necessary features", demanded by A. van Dam. Our suggested system is one of the type "powerful intermediate price, microprogrammed graphics", which may be used in a "stand alone mode" or a "satellite mode".
