Organization: Intelligent Systems Group Postal-Address: C-015, La Jolla, CA 92093 We are thinking of purchasing a new color monitor for one of our systems. It must accept analog rgb, sync on green at a resolution of 1280x1024, 60hz interlaced. We currently have some 3 year old monitors which are ok, but are not very bright, and the colors aren't too wonderful. So, the question is, "Has anyone had any experience with monitors that meet the above specs and 'blows your socks off?'*" Thanks. Mark Rosenstein *'blows your socks off' means looks really, really good, doesn't have much maintance problems, and is all and all a nice monitor. ------------------------------ From: BRINKMAN%HLERUL5.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU at 15:17:46 CDT Date: Mon, 13 Oct 86 21:15 N Subject: GKS INFO for user TAMURA @ HLERUL5 X-Original-To: INFO-GRAPHICS@ADS.ARPA, BRINKMAN From: RULCRI::TAMURA "Tamura" 13-OCT-1986 21:04 Subj: Hi, Help! Here ( at Leyden University ) we are using a c-implementation of GKS. It is ONLY! capable of running under Lattice C v 2.14 ( not even under Lattice 3.00 ! ). Lattice 2.14 is BAD. ( THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION,although I must say that many people here share that opinion. ) I've heard that somewhere it should be possible somehow to obtain a C-source of a GKS implementation. If ( that's true ) then please inform me - as soon as possible about the where-and how abouts. We here would like to implement GKS for ECO-c88., a compiler much better than Lattice, and easier to work with ( turbo-like 0 Tamura.

Bay Area ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics (SIGGRAPH) October 29, 1986 meeting (Wednesday, note shift in day) Topic: Careers in Computer Graphics For the October meeting, Bay Area ACM/SIGGRAPH has assembled a distinguished panel of speakers who will discuss the various aspects of having a career in computer graphics. Whether you're preparing a career or planning a career move, this meeting is sure to be of interest. Topics to be discussed are: EDUCATION/BACKGROUND: In less than a decade, computer graphics has developed from a laboratory curiousity to an effective medium found in nearly all realms of traditional graphics and animation. Dr. Franklin Crow will discuss how the scope and number of possible careers has changed from a few research positions to a broad range of possibilities. He will talk about the various career paths that are all available and also areas of specialization. He will also cover the education/background necessary for these positions. THE JOB SEARCH: John Baker will discuss the questions that job hunters need to ask themselves before starting their job search, and how to start their search. He will compare the job opportunities found at a start-up company vs. an established firm. He plans to cover what computer graphics fields are hot in the Bay Area, and what's not. THE JOB!!! John Lasseter will talk about his background as an animator and how it lead to his job in computer graphics. He will share his experiences and views on being an animator and artist working in the computer graphics/entertainment industry, and also show some example of his work. Finally, he plans to project how artists will fit into the industry of the future. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS: John Baker has spent the last seven years recruiting engineers and executives for the electronics industry in the Bay Area. As owner of BRI-TIN, a personnel placement agency, he has recruited engineers with software, hardware, electrical, etc. backgrounds. In computer graphics, he has recruited people software, hardware/electrical backgrounds, technical writers/editors, and graphics artists to work in the video game industry. Mr. Baker is a director of CAPC, California Association of Personnel Consultants (Santa Clara Valley Chapter). Dr. Franklin Crow received his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Utah. He was on the Computer Science faculty at the University of Texas at Austin and Ohio State University. He has acted as a consultant in the computer graphics industry for such companies as Cranston-Csuri Productions, Digital Productions, and the NYIT Computer Graphics Lab. Currently, Dr. Crow is on the research staff at Xerox PARC (Palo Alto Research Center). John Lasseter joined the Pixar (formerly Lucasfilm) Computer Animation Group in 1984, after five years as an animator at the Walt Disney Studios. His introduction to computer graphics came at Disney while designing and directing the "Wild Things Test." This production was the first to combine hand drawn Disney character animation with computer generated backgrounds. At Lucasfilm and Pixar, he has designed and animated the stained glass computer generated knight for "Young Sherlock Holmes," and also the characters in the "The Adventures of Andres and Wally B." John received his BFA in Film from the California Institute of the Arts.

It contains articles by authors active in the PostScript world, including developers at Adobe Systems, Inc. Every issue of the Journal will bring you a wealth of infor- mation about PostScript: the hardware that understands it, the software that produces it, the people involved with it, and the language itself. We'll have product reviews, font samples, interviews, an ongoing PostScript tutorial, PostScript hints and tricks, a column on the cover art, which will be different for each issue of the Journal, and articles on advanced topics in PostScript programming, written by PostScript software develop- ers. From time to time we'll also print articles on subjects not strictly related to PostScript but of general interest to our readers in the printing and publishing industry. The PostScript Language Journal is published quarterly by Pipeline Associates, Inc. ____________________________ Coming in January: The Premier Issue of The PostScript Language Journal PostScript Tutorial: Part 1 The first in a series of tutorials on the PostScript language. Typeface Protection Quality typefaces can take over a year to create, yet the printed version of the face itself cannot be copyrighted. Charles Bigelow discusses various forms of typeface protec- tion. When 300 DPI Isn't Enough A comparison between laser printer output and photo- typesetter output.
