On the design and implementation of flexible software platforms to facilitate the development of advanced graphics applications

This thesis presents the design and implementation of a software development platform (ATLAS) which offers some tools and methods to greatly simplify the construction of fairly sophisticated applications. It allows thus programmers to include advanced features in their applications with no or very l...
