Computer Graphics for Scientific Applications

Defense Technical Information Center · 1982 · 28 pictures

A 1982 technical report from the Defense Technical Information Center, prepared for Air Force Weapons Laboratory staff, on computer graphics methods for scientific and engineering work. The pictures are black-and-white photographs of CRT and screen displays showing grid axes, plotted points, and a rocket-like object rendered in flat white and dark shading. A designer could draw on their stark monochrome look, the use of tick-mark axes as a graphic device, and the blocky vector-style outlines of the wireframe-like forms.
