โฆ Synopsis
An account is given of the graphics facilities developed by ABACUS for use on an inexpensive storage tube display terminal connected to a timesharing computer. The facilities allow programs to display simple pictures and menus of commands on the terminal as well as to manipulate graphically the geometrical information common to many schematic design problems found in architecture.

SOLAR5 is a simple easy-to-use design tool that gives architects an instantaneous graphic display of their building's energy performance and allows immediate on-line design revisions. It is designed to be used at the very beginning of the design process when most of the decisions affecting the build
When a computer is used in electric circuit design it forms part of an iterative loop and so the ergonomics of its input and output become of major importance. A circuit analysis program is described, which uses interactive graphics, and which was designed with particular attention given to ergonomi
