[comp.graphics] Graphics Languages

pcb@usl.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (12/02/89)

I am looking for references to Graphics Languages (not libraries).
In particular, I am looking for windowing or 3-d, image processing or
ray tracing languages.  Conference proceedings, technical papers or
or book references would be very helpful (for my dissertation).

I haven't posted this in a while so I'll repeat.
I am working (finishing) a dissertation dealing with graphics languages,
basically (although not trivially) I have produced an object-oriented, 
distributed composite graphics language as a side product of the phd.

I want to make sure I haven't left any references un-noticed.  Does anyone
know of any references to "graphics languages"?
I am not too concerned with the library approach. (X, Phigs,...) 
I am concerned with vector graphics, rendering, UI and hypermedia nodes.
