Detailed Semantics of Graphics Input Devices

摘要

During the recently concluded technical review of GKS, the input facilities became a bone of contention. The discussions revealed many inadequacies in the virtual input device concept, and were finally resolved using a refined and extended model of input, which is presented here by some of the participants in the discussions. Examples are included, showing how the GKS facilities derive from the model, and the Core's STROKE device is used to show how the model controls future extensions to GKS. The model is also used to described the other differences between the input facilities of the Core system and GKS.
