Programmer interface, definition

Examples of graphics applications interface standards are the Graphics Kernel System (GKS) (i6) and the Programmer s Hierarchical Interactive Graphics System (PHIGS) (7) Specific interface definitions are part of both GKS and PHIGS. For the device driver interface, examples are the North American Presentation Level Protocol Syntax (NAPLPS) ( ) and the Computer Graphics Interface (CGI) (9). [Pg.132]

There are at least four high-level definitions required in programming the problem, the procedure blocking, the procedure interfaces, and the data structures. The first may be left aside in this discussion. A high-level language should help the programmer concentrate on what is to be done, rather than on how it is to be done (15). On the other hand, efficiency considerations... [Pg.239]

Another advantage of the meta-definition approach which SRS has taken is that wrappers can be generated to provide a programming interface to SRS. This allows programmers to be able to link in the SRS system to their own... [Pg.449]
