Item Calendar of Events(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985)Item The Eurographics 84 Computer Art and Animation Competition(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Comninos, PeterItem Generating High Quality Pictures by Ray-Tracing(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Bouville, C.; Brusq, R.; Dubois, J.L.; Marchal, I.Ray-casting techniques provide a very general framework in which many problems can be solved in a much easier way than with conventional methods. This is particularly true for the illumination model when a high level of realism is required. Another interesting feature of ray-casting is its ability to display a wide class of algebraic surfaces with a minimum of approximation. Both aspects are developed in this paper where a full lighting model, based on a theoretical approach, is presented. Then, an algorithm for the display of surfaces of revolution is described.Computation time is the major drawback of ray-tracing. Special purpose parallel processors seem to offer a good price/performance ratio compared to the use of supercomputers.Item Institutional Membership(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985)Item EUROGRAPHICS Application Form for Institutional Membership(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985)Item Filtering Edges by Pixel Integration(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Pitteway, M.L.V.; Olive, P.M.An algorithm is presented which evaluates the area of the triangles formed by the intersection of a straight-line boundary with pixel elements, yet involves only tests and additions.Item A Prefiltering Raster Scan Algorithm(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Lindner, R.Item Colour Graphics-Blessing or Ballyhoo?(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Murch, Gerald M.The human visual system-s capacity and capability to process colour can be applied as a design criterion for colour information displays. This paper reviews key elements in the visual domain of colour, encompassing the visual, perceptual, and cognitive modes and develops a series of recommendations for effective colour usage based on these elements.Item EUROGRAPHICS '85 - NICE COME TO NICE!

Three categories are mentioned: computer as tool, as origin of concepts and metaphors, and as controller. The use of the computer in art gives rise to the idea of computing as representation- rather than just information-processing. Thus the computer can be said to 'belong' to artists and designers, and can be seen as a qualitative device. It is argued that computing is 'really' an art or design activity, and that this has implications for art, design and computing.Item HDTV - A New High Definition Television System(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Stenger, LudwigItem An Application of Geodesic Curves to Sail Design(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Haw, R.J.Item Report on Workshop on Validation of Graphics Software(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Brodlie, K.W.; Gobel, M.Item Scientific Software Based on GKS 22nd-25th September 1985(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985)The Monitoring Panel think the organisers are doing an excellent job.
