MASTER'S ESSAY PRESENTATION

                    -Friday, December 1, 1989

Mr.  F.K.T.  Sun,  graduate  student, Dept. of Computer
Science,  will  speak  on ``Using X11 to display visual
effects.''

TIME:                 2:30 p.m.

ROOM:                 DC 1331

ABSTRACT

We  describe  six demonstration programs for displaying
variants  of effects reported in the vision literature.
The   demonstrations   use   a   windowed   workstation
environment,  the X Window System Version 11 (X11). The
perfomance of the window system is analyzed in terms of
our  implementation experience and suggestions are made
for  future  window  system  architectures based on our
experience.   The visual effects are discussed in terms
of  what  they  teach  about the display of information
within  a  windowed  environment and the tools that the
visual  effects  themselves  provide for improving that
environment.
