This is the title of an 18 min. film produced recently by the Central Office of InformatiOn, Department of Industry, for the CAD Centre. The film describes recent advances in computer graphics techniques that have taken place at the Centre. It highlights an application undertaken by the Centre on behalf of SNK, Copenhagen, to simulate the air traffic flow projected for 1980 at Copenhagen Airport. A short film was required to show an accelerated visualization Of aircraft movements in and around Kastrup Airport. In this application, GiNO-F was used to drive a microplotter and produce a succession of contiguous frames. The film so produced was processed and reductionprinted to a 16 mm colour print. It was then projected at 24 frames a second and .appeared on a screen as a continuous mowng ptcture.
Other applications described in the film include highway simulation and three-dimensional techniques using GINO:F with DYNACOLOR, DYNA-DRAW and DYNADATAI The latter two programs improve the realism of the picture by first removing hidden lines from the wire-line drawing and then accurately shading each solid within the picture.
