Not its speed, mind. But it does appear to be quite straightforward to create dials, graphs, and so on. I can see how Prolog could be used to handle vector graphics quite well, indeed Luis Jenkins here has implemented Henderson's(?) "Functional Geometry" in Prolog and used it to CIF an Escher picture. But how about raster graphics? Is object-orientation indispensible? If it is, can we do it readily in Prolog? Anyone got any ideas?
