Don't forget the long history of CORE->GKS->PHIGS->PHIG++ "standardizations".
There are several books about GKS.  These standards basically assume vector
hardware models and did not understand raster graphics very well.  Apple
computer gave raster graphics to the masses in the mid-1980s with the Mac
and the LaserWriter.
