+ RAND/UCSB NETWORK GRAPHICS EXPERIMENT
+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+ During the Network Graphics Meeting in July, several experiments were
+ outlined to explore graphics over the Network. One of these was the
+ use of the UCSB On-Line System (OLS) from graphic consoles at Rand.
+
+ The connection was completed in the latter half of August and has
+ been used on an experimental basis since then. OLS users from UCSB
+ and TRW (in Los Angeles) have visited Rand and accessed OLS via Rand
+ consoles and the Network. Thus, the first phase of the experiment
+ was completed in August.
+
+ We are still in the midst of the second phase of the experiment which
+ involves cleaning up the initial implementation and reviewing and
+ modifying our initial strategies for the OLS connection.
+
+IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EXPERIMENT
+
+UCSB
+
+ UCSB has had a Network interface on the OLS for some time. For a
+ description, see RFC #74. The descriptions in RFC #74 were modified
+ to conform to current Network protocols (NCP and ICP) and to conform
+ to what we considered a general graphics description.
+
+ Basically, the OLS receives an EBCDIC-like input byte stream and
+ generates an unstructured graphical output stream. These protocols
+ will be documented at the completion of our experimentation and
+ presented at the Network graphics meeting in October.
+
+ The Rand Video-Graphics System (VGS) was used to access the OLS via
+ the Network. The Video-Graphics System and its consoles are
+ described in R-753-ARPA available from the Rand Reports Department.
+
+ VGS consoles had been connected previously to the Network via the
+ Rand Network Services Program (NSP). Originally, NSP was designed to
+ afford NCP checkout features, logging in to and use of remote systems
+ and access to UCSB RJE and UCLA RJS. An additional module was easily
+ added to access the OLS.
+

+
+RFC 225 RAND/UCSB NETWORK GRAPHICS EXPERIMENT September 1971
+
+
+ Input to the OLS was done via a Rand tablet on a VGS console. Input
+ to the OLS module in NSP is accomplished by moving the tablet cursor
+ (not shown in the attached figures) which appears as a small dot on
+ the screen to the desired function button and pressing the tablet pen
+ down on the tablet.
+
+ Figure 1 shows the initial display from the OLS module. The top of
+ the screen has a feedback line, the remainder of the upper half is
+ the output display from the OLS, and the lower half is a large
+ sensitive area containing various function buttons (pic-table).
+
+ The sensitive areas fall into three classes:
+
+ (1) the right most column (CALL, CLOSE)
+ connects/disconnects to OLS over the Network.
+ The third function (COPY) generates hardcopy
+ via an SC 4060. (The figures are, in fact,
+ SC 4060 hardcopy.)
+
+ (2) The grid area contains the OLS function
+ buttons normally on a special function keyboard.
+ (See RFC #74.)
+
+ (3) The lower area allows entry of number,
+ characters and punctuation.
+
+ Figure 2 shows the login sequence to OLS and Figure 3, SIN and COS
+ curves from -PI to +PI generated by OLS.
+
+ Completion of the Experiment
+
+ We plan to present the experiment at the October graphics meeting in
+ two forms. First, a description of the protocols and techniques used
+ in implementing the remote network connection along with conclusions.
+ Second, we will make a film showing the use of the OLS from Rand and
+ present it at the meeting.
