Description

William Fetter wrote Computer Graphics in Communication for a study of engineering graphics supported by the National Science Foundation, and McGraw-Hill published it in 1965 with nearly 100 illustrations. At Boeing, where the term “computer graphics” came into use around 1960, Fetter led the computer graphics team. The website History of Information calls this the first book on the subject. It deals with the Boeing methods, which used computer plots and film, and has a section on depicting an aircraft carrier landing.
