Abstract

The system described in this paper is intended to be of assistance to those people who would benefit in their work from computer graphics but do not have the necessary knowledge or familiarity with its methodological principles. This system consists of an APL implementation of the CORE Graphics System, called APLCORE, and of a user interface giving the opportunity of learning and practicing on the CORE concepts. The system is highly interactive, being ready to give explanations to the user at any time, and to teach him the use of the system. The implementation has been made under VSAPL for CMS running on an IBM 3033. The graphics output device supported is the IBM 3277 Graphics Attachment equipped with a Tektronix 619 Storage Display Monitor and a Summagraphics Digitizing Tablet.
