Abstract

Architecture of a light weight three dimensional graphic framework model using traditional graphic methods is presented in this paper. The traditional graphics concepts are redesigned and remodeled for present requirements and development technologies. A pattern approach is adapted for presenting the model. Several pattern frames are suggested based on this model to suit new development methodologies. A pattern frame for porting traditional graphic models into new technologies is presented. A set of block diagrams and UML diagrams are used to describe the model. Lists of classified graphic functionalities to support graphic requirements of this model are listed. A sample client application of this model in VB is presented.
