Graphics Libraries and Presentation Packages
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
Graphics and presentation software are the traditional means by which one
creates ways to view and analyze data. The libraries interface directly to
graphics hardware or provide graphics functionality in software. The user has to
supply nearly all the pieces of the application, such as the user interface,
data handling, geometry mapping, and the main program. The most most basic
libraries only supply an interface to the graphics devices, while some higher
level libraries handle more sophisticated graphic entities such as axes, curve
drawing, etc..
The advantage of this type of software is its flexibility and direct control.
However, it suffers from the large amount of time necessary to write and support
the code.
