Abstract:
Algorithms to discover terminal characteristics are presented as a set of Standard Fortran subroutines as an aid in developing portable and device independent graphical systems. The algorithms compute the screen representation, the character sizes, the incremental vector action and the boundary action in both the character and graphic mode. The assumptions, restrictions and implications of the algorithms are discussed.
