for "a definitive notation for line-drawing"

definitive notation for 2-d line-drawing

from page

" Its underlying algebra has the data types: integer, real, boolean, char, point, line, arc, circle, ellipse, shape and label. A shape is a set of points and lines. A point is represented by a pair of scalar values {x,y}. Points can be treated as position vectors, in that they can be added and multiplied by a scalar factor. A line is a line segment that joins two points.

The operators currently implemented in DoNaLD include:

arithmetic operators

+  *  div  float()  trunc()   if ... then ... else ...
  

basic geometric operators

.1  .2  .x  .y  {,}  [,]  +  *

dist() intersects() intersect()
  

translate() rot() scale()
  
label() circle() ellipse()
"
