The emergence of conflicting and competing standards is causing confusion for users and vendors alike. The Graphics Kernel System GKS may be an approved standard, but it is not perfect. Proposals for enhanced standards would need to include additional primitives and attributes to support the modern engineering workstations, which can have sophisticated image processing and advanced 3D capabilities. Though it will take some years to define, PHIGS+ may be the way of the future.
