Coupling FORTH and GKS in monitoring processes

Published: 01 August 1990 Publication History

Abstract

Control processes usually require short and fast programs which are often joined with simple graphic activities. In such environments FORTH is used as a system language, since it adds the properties of modularity and structuring of high level programming to those of immediateness and speed which characterize assembler programming. In order to obtain similar performances by graphic modules, it is advisable to employ a low level graphics standard and to implement it by using FORTH itself.
