Abstract
The Graphical Kernel System (GKS), published in 1985, was the first ISO standard for computer graphics programming. The first revision of GKS, termed GKS-94 was completed during 1994 and the new standard (ISO/IEC 7942-1:1994) was published in November 1994. This paper summarizes the major features of the revision and describes the results of one experimental implementation of part of the new functionality.

Recommendations
The Graphical Kernel System (GKS)
Since its publication in 1985, the Graphical Kernel System (GKS) has become established as an important standard for computer graphics. Both its output and input models are superior to earlier 2D systems, and its coordinate systems are flexible and ...
Approach to solving the compatibility problem between GKS and PHIGS
The differences that exist between the concept sof GKS/GKS-3D and PHIGS do so not only because of technical reasons. The approach of PHI-GKS presented in this paper describes concepts that offer the functionality of PHIGS and ensure compatibility to GKS ...
