    SIGGRAPH 1987

    Nova Graphics International, whose software products and services are based upon international standards, provides commercial implementations of GKS, CGI and CGM in Fortran, C and ADA. Computing environments range from the PC to supercomputers. Firmware based implementations of NOVA*CGI are provided in partnership with hardware manufacturers.

    SIGGRAPH 1986

    Nova Graphics International provides graphics software products based upon international standards. Versions of NOVA*GKS in C and Fortran are available for most computing environments. Firmware-based implementations of NOVA*CGI are provided in partnership with manufacturers of CGI based hardware products. Expert consulting, training and custom development services related to graphics are available.

    SIGGRAPH 1985

    Nova Graphics International is a single source vendor for standard graphics software, supporting processors ranging from the IBM PC to the Cray. NOVA*GKS, tightly coupled to NOVA*CGI, is a distributed, level 2B implementation of GKS with both Fortran and C bindings, and is now available for the IBM 3270 PC/G/GX.

    SIGGRAPH 1984

    NOVA*GKS is the industry’s first commercially-developed implementation of the Graphical Kernel System (GKS), the new ISO/ANSI standard. Both the mainframe/host and microcomputer versions of NOVA*GKS feature a unique, multilayer, distributed architecture, making both versions hardware tuneable and application tuneable The GKS design also makes it possible to include only those levels of the GKS functionality required to support a particular application. Available in FORTRAN and C bindings, NOVA*GKS gives programmers a common graphics model and sta ndard syntax to speed programming and increase productivity.
