Computer Graphics in Biology. 1986. (Advances in Plant Sciences Series, vol. 1). 87 figs. and line-drawings. 220 p. gr8vo. Hardbound.

The computer has become an essential tool wherever information isprocessed. The biological sciences have a particular need to not onlycapture but display information in the most efficient and effectivemanner. This book discusses both hardware and software in reference totheir application to the graphics required in biological presentations.In particular,the capability of the computer to create 2-dimensional and3-dimensional graphics as well as the means of dealing with hidden linesand surfaces relates directly to the needs of the life scientists in their studies. This resource will certainly be of interest to scientistswanting to optimize the utility of the computer in their work.
