Zusammenfassung:A revision of the Graphical Kernel System (GKS), the first ISO standard for computer graphics programming, was completed in 1994. This summary of GKS-94 also describes an implementation of part of its new functionality. We have demonstrated that fast selection is possible with GKS-94. Thus, an application can use namesets and selection criteria as its main method of subdivision, selection and creating hierarchy within the application, and performance is acceptable given a reasonable implementation. European organizations are showing interest in implementing GKS-94, and new products are anticipated early in 1996.< >
