CRISTAL Graphical Interface:

An integrated videographic data management system such as CRISTAL
can also facilitate access to information in a database by use of
a visual (iconographical) interface.  By using the Screen Map
feature of CRISTAL, image icons and other component parts of an
image can be linked to macro commands in a worksheet.  When in
the Screen Map mode, an image icon displayed on the graphics
screen is selected by positioning the mouse controlled cursor on
the icon and pressing the right mouse button.  The macros in the
worksheet that correspond to the icon location in the graphics
screen are then executed.  These macro commands activate a
predefined event or sequence of events, such as:

1... displaying an image or a series of images in the graphics
screen that are related to the selected graphic icon.

2... displaying a worksheet or series of text files containing
construction, assembly, or task specifications, descriptive
commentary, or numeric data.  

3... displaying another Screen Map of image icons to provide
access to another visual representation of the structure of the
information base.
