Abstract

This paper argues that there is a need for a problem-oriented language to handle three-dimensional geometric information, and proposes a set of language facilities that illustrate how this need should be met. The emphasis is on the facilities needed for describing solid objects and their placement in space, and for defining and operating on configurations of Objects.
