Abstract
GKS-PC is a Graphical Kernel System for the family of microcomputers compatible with the IBM-PC/MS-DOS standard. This library of functions allows an application program to control a computer graphics display conforming to a variety of graphics display standards.
GKS-PC contains a subset of the GKS system of graphics primitive functions. GKS is an ANSI standardized computer graphics software development environment. General descriptions of GKS are in the references (American National Standards Committee X3, 1984) and (Hopgood et.al., 1983) listed on page 52.
GKS-PC is not a comprehensive package for producing commercial grade graphics software, and it is not a general animation environment even though certain kinds of animation are possible with this software.
The 5.25" diskette containing the GKS-PC object library files and installation program is available as Open-File Report 93-241-B.
