In my book
Wisskirchen: 
Object-Oriented Graphics 
- From GKS and PHIGS to Object-Oriented Systems - 
(August 1990, 236 pp. $ 39.00)
I tried to compare OO with traditional approaches
(ISBN 3-540-52859-8 Springer Berlin ... ISBN 0-387-52859-8 Springer New 
York ..)

Contents: 
Guidelines for Designing Graphics Systems. - Object-Oriented Programming 
in Smalltalk-80. - User Interface Architecture: Application Frameworks, 
MVC Concept. - Smalltalk-80 Graphics Kernel. - GKS, PHIGS and 
Object-Oriented System Design. -  Generation and Editing of Multi-Level 
Part Hierarchies. - Programming Examples. - Extension of a Graphics Kernel 
by Use of Inheritance. - Attaching  Additional Semantics. - 
How to Integrate Constraints. - Graphics and Knowledge Representation. - Prototypes and Delegation. - Requirements for an Object-Oriented Graphics Standard.

Book's subject matter:
This book builds up a synthesis between the functionality of traditional 
graphics systems, such as the international standards GKS and PHIGS, and 
the potential of object-oriented systems. Based on concrete examples it 
shows the conceptual progress which can be reached  by object-oriented 
design philosophy and the use of object-oriented tools for computer 
graphics.
