Does any one know of a special
escape sequence for ploting points on
a model 100 screen?
Any help would be apreciated...
Does ANSI offer high - res
graphics?
I will post an article suggesting a universal graphics escape codes?

It was designed to fit in with the other, more well known standards such as X3.4 and X3.64. As far as "high - res" goes (a phrase that tends to have different meanings depending on who you talk to), NAPLPS is pretty much independent of that. The model it works with is a unit square based on the cartesian coordinate system. All coordinates are represented as fractions between 0 and 1. Fractions are represented in fixed point binary format. Precision isn't a problem as the standard allows for infinite precision. For more information, read the standard ('tis a bit dry). Also, Byte magazine published a series of articles starting back in Febuaury 1983 that talks about NAPLPS. robert -- Robert Viduya robert@pyr.ocs.gatech.edu Office of Computing Services (404) 894-4660 Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, Georgia 30332
