Interactive graphics is cited as having favorable technical potential in virtually every aerospace discipline. Examples of the use of graphics for each of several categories of design include the automatic conversion of geometry to data, analysis, diagramming using graphic primitives, and inspection of data prior to batch processing. The current and devoloping use of interactive graphics for both detailed design and configuration development is emphasized. Considerable attention is given to the all-important concept of the economics of graphics for individual and for multiple applications. A method to determine cost reduction is presented. Also, a measure of effectiveness, productivity ratio, is defined and discussed. Several charts and graphs are presented to show examples of how to compute and how to use the various measures of effectiveness.
