Professional development seminars: Business graphics

Abstract

The display of business information in graphical form is a rapidly evolving segment of today's computer industry. However, the graphics software routines available to many programmers remain at an almost primitive level. This seminar surveys the development of graphics packages for use in business, examines several major charting packages currently available, and discusses current research in business graphics. The afternoon session features the use of graphics in system design, focusing on how to develop an interactive graphics program with little or no programming. The seminar is designed for persons with little graphics programming background.
