Design considerations for Picture Production in a Natural Language graphics system

Abstract

This ongoing research is concerned with the construction of a Picture Production system which has embedded knowledge. The paper discusses the motivation for such a system and gives reasons why knowledge should be included about the objects to be displayed. Some questions and commands in Natural Language are shown to give clues as to the natural structure of such a system. An outline of a design for a Picture Production system is presented via the use of a simple example.
