Abstract
The package provides a convenient user friendly environment for the integration of symbolic mathematics and high resolution graphics. It is not necessary for the user to have extensive knowledge of graphics to control the display of mathematical functions. The quality of the graphics is far superior to the old system, and the speed of the system has been improved dramaticly. The combination of color graphics and flexible window management with a symbolic system is expected to provide a base for further work on a new user-top-level for the VAXIMA system.
