{"product_id":"object-oriented-graphics-peter-wisskirchen-9783642842498","title":"Object-Oriented Graphics: From Gks and Phigs to Object-Oriented Systems","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wisskirchen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642842496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642842498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.54d","brand":"Peter Wisskirchen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47930948845823,"sku":"9783642842498","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c47ae810-5f9d-477a-b087-2134398698f0.jpg?v=1766345403","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/object-oriented-graphics-peter-wisskirchen-9783642842498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
