Visual Display of Computer Output Aids Geological Interpretation

Methods of automatic illustration of solutions of geologic problems by means of electronic computers are discussed. Line printers have been used in order to obtain the illustrations. Examples of computational illustrations of trend surfaces and time-trend sequences are given.
