Graphics Language Object System
<graphics, language> (GLOS) A language with statements for describing
graphics objects (line, circle, polygon, etc.), written by Michael J McLean and
Brian Hicks at the University of Queensland, St. Lucia in 1978. New objects are
defined using procedures. 2-D transformations are context dependent and may be
nested.
