An apparatus and method for location by location correlation of multiple images from Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and other sources. Multiple images of a material specimen are displayed on one or more monitors of an interactive graphics system. Specimen landmarks are located in each image and mapping functions from a reference image to each other image are calcuated using the landmark locations. A location selected by positioning a cursor in the reference image is mapped to the other images ...

A display system having a scanned CRT provides a full screen layout of alphanumeric characters and at least one additional screen layout, e.g. a split screen layout. A refresh buffer stores data to be displayed in a first sequence of addresses so that when this data is read out by address generator in the first sequence a full screen layout results. A read only translation store may be selectively addressed by the first sequence of addresses to provide a modified sequence of translated addresses...
