Abstract

Man-machine interaction in many fields of endeavor should be greatly facilitated in the near future through the use of interactive graphical languages. To provide a variety of display scope communication procedures, a Graphic Service System which functions as a generalized graphical language translator, is being developed to aid the definition as well as the use of new graphical languages.
