With the proliferation of mailing lists, we can see no reason
for computer graphics and associated topics to be exempt.
There is (sporadically) INFO-GRAPHICS, but it's very heavily biased towards
USA topics. We believe there is a need for a UK (and European) list to
cover the kind of topics suggested below. These are not to be considered
as definitive, rather a starting point.
Please note that graphuk will be a *moderated* list in digest format.
Computer Graphics Graphics Packages (Gino, NAG Graphics, UNIRAS ....)
Image processing Windows
User Interfaces Computational Geometry
Curves and surfaces Projective Geometry
Visual Realism Shading and lighting models
Graphics Standards (GKS, GKS-3D, PHIGS, CGM, CGI ... CGM-3D ...)
de-facto Standards PostScript
PEX PHIGS+
Eurographics matters etc...
We would welcome contributions in the following areas:
(1) News items, announcements of meetings, courses etc.
(2) Requests for help/advice.
(3) Offers of help/information.
(4) Questions for debate.
like "Graphics Standards are a waste of time, because de-facto
standards are better".
(6) Gossip - no libel!!!!!
