SKETCH #1910

Open larsbrinkhoff opened 4 years ago

HENRY; SKETCH 8

Dual Lisp-Muddle program by @lieber, used to draw pictures using the E&S display and a tablet. Used by @bonniedalzell to draw some of the NAMPIC pictures: DRAGON, TURTLE, UNICRN, etc; see #1501. Needs the Dynamic Modeling DRAW program (not the SUDS DRAW!) from MUDGRF. See #1784.

The program writes a file with numerical information in plain text. The file will then load into Lisp Logo, see #884.

Lars,

I did work with Bonnie Dalzell, who is a science-fiction artist who was working on images of extraterrestrial animals based on biological principles applied to planetary conditions.

She was using my graphics program TV Turtle for Lisp and Lisp Logo. Lisp Logo may not have run on the Evans & Sutherland displays by itself, so she may have been using it in conjunction with a drawing system for the E&S written in Muddle. Muddle itself was.a cool language.
