AFIT GKS (Air Force Inst. of Tech. Graphical Kernal Septem)--A GKS Implementation in the ADA Programming Language.

摘要

This theses project written in Ada, involved designing and implementing AFIT GKS which is a subset of the Graphical Kernel System (GKS). This project implemented AFIT-GKS on a ROLM Data General MV/8000-II validated Ada compiler, using a proposed binding of GKS to Ada developed by the Harris Corporation. After introducing Ada and CKS to the reader, this project considers several alternative ways of designing AFIT-GKS. Selecting what was considered the best design alternative, this project implements AFIT-GKS. It concludes with a discussion of how well Ada, the proposed GKS binding to Ada, and GKS, worked in AFIT-GKS. This thesis found minor problems with the validated ROLM Ada Compiler, the proposed GKS binding to Ada, the GKS, but overall they were each excellent products. By using AFIT-GKS as proof, this project concludes that Ada can support large programs, and Ada can support computer graphics.
