Graphics Programming in Icon Version 9

Authors: 

Clinton L. Jeffery, University of Texas, San Antonio

Abstract: 

Version 9 of the Icon programming language introduces support for graphics and user interface programming as an extension of the existing file-based input/output model, rather than introducing graphics as a disjoint facility. Simplicity, generality, and portability are the primary emphases. The result is a language in which common graphic effects are easy to write using ordinary procedural code. Complex techniques such as event-driven programming are optional and not forced on the programmer when they are not needed.
