ABSTRACT: Das Sketchpad war zur Zeit seiner Entstehung das erste
computergesteuerte Zeichengerät The display, a lightpen, and a bank of switches were the interface on which Ivan based the first interactive computer graphics. In 1963, his Ph.D. thesis, "Sketchpad: A Man-machine Graphical Communications System," used the lightpen to create engineering drawings directly on the CRT. Highly precise drawings could be created, manipulated, duplicated, and stored. The software provided a scale of 2000:1, offering many acres of drawing space. Sketchpad pioneered the concepts of graphical computing, including memory structures to store objects, rubber-banding of lines, the ability to zoom in and out on the display, and the ability to make perfect lines, corners, and joints. Features: popup menus constraint-based drawing hierarchical modelling This real-time manipulation of graphics by Sketchpad and the TX-2 computer became the foundation for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and was the first Graphical User Interface (GUI).
