Image Displays

  This section describes the setup of the image displays used by MIDAS and the functionality provided by MIDAS to interact with these displays. For a description of the conceptual model for an image display device see the definition document for the IDI--routines.
MIDAS supports peripheral displays like e.g. the Gould IP8000 (former DeAnza) series and XWindow displays. We describe here the IP8500 display specifically and a generic XWindow display.

Note The Gould image display systems are not manufactured anymore and hardly in use nowadays. Therefore, the 94NOV release of MIDAS will be the last release where we support these devices.
