1829	 An Interactive Graphical Display Monitor in a Batch-Processing Environment with Remote Entry	 A graphic monitor program is described. It was developed at Carnegie-Mellon University for the CDC G computer which is a general purpose batch-processing system with remote entry. The existing G system and the graphics hardware are described. The graphic monitor is a resident auxiliary monitor which provides comprehensive managerial capability over the graphical system in response to commands from the human user. It also will respond to commands from a user program through a similar interface where routine calls take the place of manual actions. Thus the human and program can interact on a symmetrical and equal basis through the medium of the graphic monitor. The choice made in designing the graphic monitor given the constraints of the existing hardware and computer system are discussed. The structure of the monitor program and the human and program interfaces are described. There is also a transient swapping version with a small resident part and provision for swapped used submonitors. graphic monitor man machine interaction graphic interface graphic in batch environment design of graphical system
