AMD - Introduction to OpenGL 3.0 | 2009-04-27 | Advanced Micro Devices |
| OpenGL 3.0 is a new open-standard 3D graphics application programming interface specification that gives applications more control over graphics hardware than ever before. OpenGL 3.0 is derived from previous versions of OpenGL, keeping most of the same interfaces and functionality, but adding several new key features. With OpenGL 3.0 comes an updated version of the GL Shading Language, GLSL 1.30. Discussing the individual changes and new features included in OpenGL 3.0 and GLSL 1.30 is beyond the scope of this paper.

Text and Image Quality Made All the Difference | 2008-04-29 | Dundas Data Visualization |
| Founded in 1983, The Generations Network, Inc. is the leading online network connecting families across distance and time. The business challenge for them was to produce 275,000 books for the most common surnames in the United States without warehousing any stock at all. They also had to scan billions of records and terabytes of data to generate the data from which the books would be created. The company chose the Dundas charting component because of its ability to be customized (colors, test, layout, etc.) and the high quality of the output options.

Select Text and Graphics | 2007-12-01 | Microsoft Tips |
| One can select text and graphics by using the mouse or the keyboard, including items that aren't next to each other. For example, one can select a paragraph on page one and a sentence on page three. Microsoft Word provides additional methods for selecting items in a table, drawing objects, or text in outline view (outline view: A view that shows the headings of a document indented to represent their level in the document's structure. One can also use outline view to work with master documents.).

Explore Model-Driven Development (MDD) and Related Approaches: Applying Domain-Specific Modeling to Model-Driven Architecture | 2007-09-18 | IBM |
| In this paper, use Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) technologies to produce domain-specific modeling tooling aids for domain-specific languages. Learn the value of defining a domain-specific language, explore basic concepts and different approaches to modeling, and get tips on creating a good metamodel. In architecture design and software engineering, one needs a clear comprehension of the domain for the architecture and to be able to effectively communicate that to other people. One can use various techniques and tools to approach this challenge, such as using a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) and Domain-Specific Modeling (DSM). DSM acts as the front end of DSL, allowing the user to express constructs through a visual representation.

Architecture Students Thrive With HP Workstations | 0000-00-00 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| At the renowned Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, the goal of the School of Building Arts is to produce "Renaissance designers and architects" capable of challenging and redefining the standards in architectural design. This requires that the school keep students up to speed with design technology, which changes from year to year. HP technology is playing a critical role in that process. Acknowledging the increased dependence on workstations and PCs in the real world of design, the school's administrators convened several years ago to discuss the role of technology in the campus environment. Changes in school policy were made to boost the quality and quantity of computing technology. The school has acquired over 450 HP workstations.

Windows Longhorn - AERO | 0000-00-00 | Computer Performance |
| Longhorn is hard to define, but fortunately easy to use. From one perspective, Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, and Open (AERO) is Longhorn's replacement of XP's Luna desktop. Others see AERO as Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 and the GPU combining to deliver stunning visual displays. Microsoft would like to emphasis that AERO is the most efficient and intuitive front end to date.

Draw Predicated Sample | 0000-00-00 | Microsoft |
| This sample uses the occlusion predicate query to avoid drawing unnecessary geometry. The scene contains four meshes, the center columne mesh, the microscope mesh, the city mesh, and the microscope occlusion mesh. The microscope mesh is a high resolution mesh that comprises the focus of the scene. Because of the large number of vertices, this mesh is costly to draw especially when duplicated 6 times throughout the scene. The microscope occlusion mesh is a much lower resolution mesh that is used as an approximation of the microscope. For games, this could be a mesh created specifically for occlusion purposes or a collision mesh.
