Abstract

GKS, the international standard for 2D graphics software, provides a set of functionalities which are specified in a language independent manner. However, for GKS to be used, a binding must be defined for some host programming language. To date a FORTRAN binding [1] has been accepted, and proposals for bindings in Pascal [8] and Ada are under consideration in ISO. Possible bindings for C [7] and ALGOL 68 [5] have also been proposed.
