[comp.graphics] PHIGS

2hjclausen@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (11/29/88)

        Hi:

	Has anybody out there used PHIGS in PASCAL ?
	Thanks in advance for sending me a small demo
	program ( Pascal ) or some refs. sources.

	Phil

Has anyone out there worked with a graphics package
called PHIGS (Programmer's Hierarchical Interactive
Graphics System)?  If so, I would like to here any
comments or criticisms about it.

                              Thanks,
                                 Alex Brown

I am looking for PHIGS implementations for the following platforms:

	Silicon Graphics - 
	IBM PS/2     -
	Macintoshes  - 

Any information on vendors providing PHIGS on these platforms
would be helpful.

Hi, I'm putting a paper together on "PHIGS in the real world" and I'd
welcome comments/experiences from people, especially those who are actually
using (or have used) PHIGS in earnest to program with. Things like:

	What features do you miss?
	What is it really good for? (no jokes, please!)
	What doesn't PHIGS do well?
	What major bugs does your implementation have?
	What general difficulties do you have?
	etc

I'd really value any feedback. Everyone will be properly acknowledged.
Thanks in advance.

        Hi!

        I'm looking for PHIGS benchmarks on any kind of platform, but
        written in C or Fortran (f77).

        I know that there are *lots* of them, but I didn't find any...

        I'd really appreciate any pointer, reference or code.


                                Thanks in advance,


                                        Patrice.

The PLB (Picture Level Benchmark) probably meets your needs.  It is
based around a PHIGS-type model, although it is possible to have a PLB
program on top of something else, like GL.

Look in your nearest X11R5 source tree under .../mit/demos/gpc

GPC stands for "General Performance Charcteristics" or some such.  The
gpc implementation that comes with X11R5 (which includes PEX) is based
on PEX which, for the R5 release, looks like PHIGS.
