Aliasing artifacts are eliminated from computer generated images of textured polygons by equivalently filtering both the texture and the edges of the polygons. Different filters can be easily compared because the weighting functions that define the shape of the filters are pre-computed and stored in lookup tables. A polygon subdivision algorithm removes the hidden surfaces so that the polygons are rendered sequentially to minimize accessing the texture definition files. An implementation of the texture rendering procedure is described. � ACM. All rights reserved.

Pluralism in contemporary geography has gone beyond the creative liberty of variety and degenerated into license that threatens the future of the profession. A frame work for reintegration of our diverse pursuits is proposed to enable us to create future geographies consistent with our enduring values. environments that expand freedom and choice and opportunity, and organized fantasies containing new delights for the scholarly practitioners and the practical scholars who will succeed us as the geographers of the future.

This paper discusses the Interactive graphics System used by the General Electric Company, Medium Steam Turbine Department (Engineering & Manufacturing) for designing, drafting, and manufacturing applications. A brief overview of the hardware malting up the system is described, followed by a more detailed description of the actual applications. Two-dimensional applications described include a Heat Balance Analysis, Flow Diagrams, and Electrical Schematics. A more fruitful area for increased productivity gains is described in the three-dimensional or mechanical applications including turbine design & layout and bucket design. coordination of the design with manufacturing for numerical control tape generation is described through CAM and Plate Frame Cutting applications. Finally, a short review of the engineering design work using Interactive graphics is discussed. Productivity gains of 2.6 to 1 are being realized, and the overall savings to the Medium Steam Department are outlined.
Previous work in the hidden-surface problem has revealed two key concepts. First, the removal of nonvisible surfaces is essentially a sorting problem. Second, some form of coherence is essential for the efficient solu...

The calculation of building thermal loads using the computer has been an accepted practice for several years. A substantial amount of research and theoretical investigation has been expended in attempts to accurately quantify a building's thermal behavior. A number of existing simulation packages acceptably model this behavior.1,2,3,4,5,6The advantages of simulation are obvious, not only for the predictive information with respect to operating costs or fuel consumption, but as a potential aid for preliminary design. The influence and tradeoffs of a large number of design variables such as siting, orientation, window area, thermal resistivity, surface/volume ratios, and cost can all be examined at an early stage in the design process.
Simple transparency algorithms which assume a linear transparency over an entire surface are the type most often employed to produce computer synthesized images of transparent objects with curved surfaces. Although mo...
