The UK arm of Copenhagen-based Uniras A/S took the opportunity to launch three new graphics software packages at the Computer Graphics Show in London last week. Picture Manager, which runs under the X Window System, SunView and DECwindows on Sun, DEC and Hewlett-Packard Unix hardware enables users to import graphical images that conform to the Computer Graphics Metafile image communication standard over Ethernet. Images can then be manipulated within a mouse-driven user environment, before transportation to a range of printing devices. A Motif version of Picture Manager will be around by the beginning of next year. The second product, Unimap 2000, is designed for analysis and display of scientific and engineering data in two, three or four dimensions, colour or monochrome images. Uniedit 2000 is a graphics editor that enables users to modify images produced by other Uniras software. Prices start at UKP1,500 for Picture Manager and Uniedit 2000, UKP3,000 for Unimap 2000. Uniras’ Slough-based UK subsidiary, with nine employees, says that versions of each for Convex minisupercomputers running X Window are also under development.
