Summary of net.graphics by cbosgd!djb

TOPICS:
*******
     *	Sources for Ikonas driver for 4.2BSD
     *	Tom Edds (edds@unc.UUCP) posted a summary of responses to his
	request for SIGGRAPH CORE software written in C (including some
	info on GKS as well).  There were several sources of such software,
	indicating that quite a bit of work is going on out there...
     *	Early enthusiasm for SIGGRAPH '84 (plan now for July)
     *	Mesa Graphics will be marketing a Tek 4014 emulator for the
	Macintosh that is scheduled for release around July 1 and will
	run somewhere around $200-$300 (info courtesy of lra@aluxe.UUCP).
     *  How about a software standard more suited for sophisticated
	bitmap or raster-oriented graphics applications (something along the
	lines of the Smalltalk "bitblit" or Macintosh "quickdraw").


HELP WANTED:
************
     *	bolte@unm-cs.UUCP is interested in RGB to NSCS signal conversion 
	methods (particularly for making videotapes from color displays).
	Some helpful discussion has already taken place (thanks to 
	dmmartindale@watcgl.UUCP and stepoway@smu.UUCP).
     *	Repeat of a request from nkg@iwu1b.UUCP for a UNIX GPS filter for HPGL 
	plotters
     *	vidar@kvvax4.UUCP is looking for a GKS implementation with Pascal
	binding
     *	ben@hao.UUCP is interested in collecting user reports on workstations
	roughly comparable to the Sun-2's and also on the new Canon-based
	laser printers.
     *  stuart@rochester.UUCP is in need of conic sections rasterization
	algorithms that are suitable for implementation on the Adage (Ikonas)
	RDS-3001 frame buffer (meaning all integer arithmetic, no special
	math support, etc).  The Pitteway and Jordan/Lennon/Holm algorithms
	have already been tried and found insufficiently robust.
     *  sean@oddjob.UUCP is interested in graphics software that can drive
	a VT100 with Advanced Video Option.  This brought about discussion that
	called into question the worthiness of graphics for such a limited
	device.
     *	gvw1@ihuxp.UUCP is looking for pointers to the NAPLPS Standard
	documntation.
     *	rick@steinmetz.UUCP would like suggestions for a low-cost, high res
	RGB monitor (similar to the new Hitachi's, but available now).
