Using microcomputer graphics to display numerical model results

Early in the investigations into the feasibility of using a micro-computer based colour graphics system at hydraulics research showed that writing programme to efficiently control such a system requires and understanding of raster techniques and colour theory. To this end, the following programs were designed and written: (a) An editor to manipulate displayed images. (b) A print program for displaying hard copies of colour images. (c) A program for displaying result files from mathematical models as an animation sequence.
