ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 1980•dl.acm.orgPICTUREBALM is a portable, interactive, LISP-based language system for graphics
applications programming. PICTUREBALM's design and initial experimental implementation
is described from the point of view of both the user and the language system implementor.
The approach of extending a LISP-based language by adding graphical operations was
chosen because many of the recognized requirements for graphics programming languages
are standard features of LISP-like systems. Future work is proposed.
