A high level language extension for creating and controlling dynamic pictures
Gregory F. Pfister · 1976
DALI (Display Algorithm Language Interpreter) is a special purpose high level programming language extension for the creation and control of dynamic pictures which exhibit complex static and dynamic interactions among their elements. DALI allows complex organizations of interpolated (“smooth”) change, discrete (“sudden”) change, and change to the structure of a picture to be generated in a modular way, in the sense that picture elements determine their own behavior and hence manner of change in a local manner.
