Abstract

This paper discusses the interfacing of the latest version of GPSS, namely GPSS/H, and GKS, a graphics system which allows programs to support a wide variety of graphics devices. A computer program to convert a running GPSS/H program to a form compatible for graphical emulation has been developed. An animation program which takes as input the data generated by the modified GPSS/H program has also been developed. Thus, the GPSS programmer needs only to take care of correct modelling of the system under study and need not know anything at all about graphics and animation.
