Act: an easy-to-use and dynamically extensible 3D graphics library
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents Act, an object-oriented library for projects from specialized 3D graphics applications to simple interactive educational programs. Act meets the needs of both occasional and expert graphics programmers, offering a high-level access to the OpenGL library and additional features including object creation, manipulation, and interaction. An interpreted language allows the Act library to be extended easily and dynamically.

JavaGL - A 3D Graphics Library in Java for Internet Browsers
This paper presents a 3D graphics library, or JavaGL, written in Java to provide 3D graphics capabilities over network. To make the 3D graphics library easy to learn and use, we define the application programming interface (API) in a manner quite similar to that of OpenGL, since OpenGL is a de facto industry standard. Furthermore, we have also developed a network library, or JavaNL, and combine...
متن کاملVisualization and Mathematics International Workshop with Support of The
3D graphics libraries play an important role in aiding both mathematicians and engineers to visualize their data and results. One of the most common graphics libraries is given by the GL (resp. OpenGL) implementation [1] by Silicon Graphics, Inc. However, the results from the GL/OpenGL are not acceptable for high-quality images. The reason for this in inadequacy is due to the missing Phong inte...
متن کاملA flexible, extensible object oriented real-time near photorealistic visualisation system: the system framework design
In this paper we describe a novel, extensible visualisation system currently under development at Aston University. We introduce modern programming methods, such as the use of data driven programming, design patterns and the careful definition of interfaces to allow easy extension using plug-ins, to 3D landscape visualisation software. We combine this with modern developments in computer graphi...
متن کاملUltra-Fast Image Reconstruction of Tomosynthesis Mammography Using GPU
Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

The Modelica[8] standard library and available Modelica tools [4, 7] contain some facilities for specification of 3D geometry and 3D graphics. Geometry and graphics is associated with physical objects included in simulated Modelica models. However, important graphics properties are missing from this model. In particular, physical objects cannot change their shape (geometry) and rendering featur...
