This manual contains the procedures to teach the relatively inexperienced author how to enter and process graphic information on a graphics processing system developed by the Training Analysis and Evaluation Group. It describes the illustration processing routines, including scanning graphics into computer memory, displaying graphics, enhancing…

The currently operational version of the INGRES data base management system gives a relational view of data, supports two high level, non-procedural data sublanguages, and runs as a collection of user processes on top of a UNIX operating system. The authors stress the design decisions and tradeoffs in relation to (1) structuring the system into…

Summarizes how infograhics are produced and how they provide information graphically in high school publications. Offers suggestions concerning information gathering, graphic format, and software selection, and provides examples of computer/student designed infographics. (MM)

The third in a series of reports on the educational applications of computers. Focuses on ERIC materials that can help educators learn more about the graphic capabilities of CRTs. (FL)

Noting that the use of all-capital print on microcomputer screens eliminates the configuration clues (ascending and descending letters that create the physical shape of the word) that help a reader recognize a word and read more quickly, a study was conducted to examine the effect of all-capital print versus standard mixed print on reading speed…

The Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications has supported a program to develop a Plasma Terminal System for purposes of improving the effective delivery of computer based educational materials. This system, employing recent advances in microprocessing and storage technologies, will provide new alternatives for present users of…

The recent developments in computer hardware and software are presented to inform architects of this design tool. Technical advancements in equipment include--(1) cathode ray tube displays, (2) light pens, (3) print-out and photo copying attachments, (4) controls for comparison and selection of images, (5) chording keyboards, (6) plotters, and (7)…

An electronics graphic symbol set for on-line construction of electrical and electronics schematic diagrams is described. Specific procedures involving off-line and on-line activities are presented for the development and entry of schematic diagrams utilizing a stored set of symbols. An example of the commands and coding required for the…

A technique is described for the generation of perspective views of three-dimensional models using computer graphics. The technique is applied to models of familiar thermodynamic phase diagrams and the results are presented for the ideal gas and van der Waals equations of state as well as the properties of liquid water and steam from the Steam…

This informal report describes uses of single-user, personalized computer systems at the University of Michigan and discusses the implications of new technologies for improving access to higher education. (Author/MP)

Describes a computer program that computes field lines and equipotential surfaces for a wide range of field configurations. Presents the mathematical technique and details of the program, the input data, and different modes of graphical representation. (MLH)

Some experiences with a classroom computer graphics facility are recounted to show how such a facility has changed the views of some instructors teaching mathematics at the college level. Teachers are encouraged to search out and seize opportunities to acquire graphics hardware, with the added teaching capabilities promoted. (MP)

Explains how using computers to generate images, to gather high-speed data, and to make better models has greatly improved x-ray crystallography results. (Author/GA)
