I've been quite impressed by the variety of graphic gizmos in LOOPS.
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?
