Graphic Communication of Data from the Digital Computer

Computer technology has provided a means by which large amounts of data may be accumulated and reduced to graphical form. The advantages of this type of computer output are considered and illustrated by means of two applications of particular interest to engineers. The utilization of computer drawn flow charts is discussed and some of the logical and technical problems involved are examined; characteristics of available programs are compared. The procedures of graphical data plotting and the available routines are then discussed and curricular applications are considered.
