   abstract     = {Table look-up procedures are particularly useful at computer graphics
                   installations because of the large chunks of cheap random access
                   memory (framebuffers) which tend to be components of these facilities.
                   We explain here how one additional framebuffer and one analog
                   control device in addition to the tablet create a powerful and
                   flexible extension to any typical framebuffer painting program.
                   In particular, this readily available extra equipment gives the
                   artist brushes which change size, shape, orientation, and/or
                   color in realtime and smoothly. Examples are rotating brushes,
                   animated brushes, airbrushes with changing spread and density,
                   oriented brushes which track the direction of motion, and many
                   more. That is, the artist is given a third dimension of stylus
                   control which may be as graceful as the spatial two. He may define
                   this new dimension from a menu of selections. The extra framebuffer
                   is used as table memory. The extra device (e.g., joystick, trackball,
                   pot, footpedal, microphone, strain guage, keyboard) is used as
                   a controller for the added dimension. Realtime is obtained by
                   using the output of the controller for table look-up.},
