Fields, Carl – CoED, 1984
A brief package of subroutines (which can be typed in 15 minutes) enables a standard Apple II Plus, IIc, or IIe microcomputer to simulate a pen-plotter. Techniques for using this package in introductory engineering graphics courses are described. A sample program (which draws an oblique line) containing the subroutines is included. (Author/JN)

Catalkaya, Tamer; Golze, Ulrich – 2000
This paper focuses on multimedia computer-based training programs on chip design. Their development must be fast and economical, in order to be affordable by technical university institutions. The self-produced teaching program Illusion, which demonstrates a monitor controller as an example of a small but complete chip design, was implemented to…

Craven, Timothy C. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1980
Proposes that error rates in indexing using string index languages such as NEPHIS might be reduced at relatively low cost by having the indexer enter strings via a microcomputer system which could provide simple validation and feedback in the form of graphic displays of concept links. (Author/FM)

Mahoney, Dan – Database, 1994
Explains the use of a standard text-based database program (i.e., dBase III) to run external programs that display graphic files during a database session and reduces costs normally encountered when preparing a computer to run a graphical database. An example is given of a simple database with two fields. (LRW)

Addo, Theophilus B. A. – Journal of Business Communication, 1994
Investigates how the dimensionality of computer-generated graphs affects users' abilities to extract information from the graphs. Finds two-dimensional graphs more reliable in communicating information quickly and accurately than corresponding three-dimensional graphs. Notes that a commonly used, but technically incorrect, three-dimensional graph…

Craven, Timothy C. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991
Outlines desirable qualities for graphic representation of sentence dependency structures in texts more than a few sentences in length. Several different display formats prototyped in the TEXNET experimental text structure management system are described, illustrated, and compared, and automatic structure manipulations are discussed. (36…

Search, Patricia – Technical Communication: Journal of the Society for Technical Communication, 1993
Discusses how advancements in computer graphics technology, especially hypermedia, are changing the language of visual communication and defining multidimensional communication models that require new perspectives in information design. Suggests that an understanding of these new communication models can be enhanced by examining works of…
