Lecture 9: Henderson Picture Language
Lecture 9 involved defining frames (using vectors) and creating images that w could
manipulate (by flipping over, altering coordinates, etc.). The file needed for this is called
lec9.scm. It needs to be unzipped and the folders included in the file, one called “bpe”
and one called “images”, should be in the directory C:\u6001. If they aren’t, place them
there (copy/paste), or many of the load commands evaluated in scheme won’t work. The
two files we will be working with are called hutils.scm and ps4go.scm. Procedures in
hutils.scm must be completed before ps4go.scm can be used. Both must be opened in
scheme (C-x, C-f Æ then type in hutils.scm or ps4go.scm, depending on which file you
wish to open. M-o evaluates everything at once in an open file)
We can create a frame by specifying two vectors. The center point of the picture shown
below is represented by (0.5, 0.5). We can draw pictures in the frame and specify the
frame.
(0, 1)
(0, 0) (1, 0)
Manipulate the picture by specifying the coordinate frame. Listing (0, 0), (1, 0), and (0,
1) in that order gives the frame above. That is origin, edge 1, and edge 2.
We can flip the image
(0, 1) (1, 1)
(0, 0)
or distort it.
