Abstract

A fascinating survey of pre-computer visualization is given by Collins [15]. He concludes that, whilst there is little in computer-generated visualization that is new in terms of techniques, computers do nonetheless make visualization a possibility for large quantities of data. Some useful insights into the factors contributing to the rapid development of computer visualization in the late 1980s are given by Brodlie in [3].
