Abstract:

Skandha4 is "an emacs for graphics"-- a portable shaded-polygon graphics extension to the Slisp toolkit which provides a variety of prebuilt facilities on which specialized graphics applications may be quickly built. These facilities include a flexible relational datastructure for geometry which may be easily extended to add application-specific information, a pointwise arithmetic sublanguage over these relations, picking and animation support, a (truly!) 3D widget library, and a growing collection of primitives for such things as voxel and image processing.
