Abstract
This paper introduces data structures as applied to computer graphics. Design criteria for computer graphics data structures are discussed, followed by a comparison of general-purpose and tailored graphic data structures. A general graphic data structure is introduced as an example of a structure meeting the preceding criteria. The L6language is then examined as a tool for implementing the above data structure, and is compared to a few other language systems.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
