GKS has various meanings in the Technology category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of GKS in Technology.
A computer graphics stan-dard, recognized by ANSI and ISO, that specifies methods of describing, manipulating, storing, and transferring graphical images. It functions at the application level rather than the hardware level and deals with logical work-stations (combinations of input and output devices such as keyboard, mouse, and monitor) rather than with individual devices. Graphical Kernel System was developed in 1978 to handle two-dimensional graphics; the later modifica-tion, GKS-3D, extended the standard to three-dimensional graphics.
