Abstract :
The Graphical Application Modeling Support system (Grams), a three-dimensional graphics system that raises the abstraction level at which the application programmer and the end user interact with the system in the image-generation process, is described. The application, graphics and rendering layers of Grams and its organization of class hierarchies are discussed. An application of the Grams system is presented.<>
