While GKS will be accepted as an IS0 Standard in the course of the year 1984, contextframe graphics is gaining a larger and larger importance today. As Prof. Hopgood stated at the EUROGRAPHICS ’83 Conference in Zagreb I in the near future the so-called single-user workstations. with powerful graphics and computing capabilities, related to each other through local area networks, will replace the classical scheme of terminals connected to a mainframe. These singleuser workstations usually have a very enhanced graphics hardware based on some form of the RasterOp functions.2
