Comment: スプレッドシートで画像処理を行なう。
        「フローチャート式」(データフロー式?)のものに比べると
        計算式が見えないからわかりやすいと言っている。
        計算式はTcl/Tkを使う。
Abstract: We describe a data visualization system based on spreadsheets. 
        Cells in our spreadsheet contain graphical objects such as
        images, volumes, or movies. Cells may also contain widgets such
        as buttons, sliders, or curve editors. Objects are displayed in
        miniature inside each cell.  Formulas for cells are written in
        a general-purpose programming language (Tcl) augmented with
        operators for array manipulation, image processing, and
        rendering.
        Compared to flow chart visualization systems, spreadsheets are
        more expressive, more scalable, and easier to program. Compared
        to conventional numerical spreadsheets, spreadsheets for images
        pose several unique design problems: larger formulas, longer
        computation times, and more complicated intercell dependencies. 
        In response to these problems, we have extended the spreadsheet
        paradigm in three ways: formulas can display their results
        anywhere in the spreadsheet, cells can be selectively disabled,
        and multiple cells can be edited at once. We discuss these
        extensions and their implications, and we also point out some
        unexpected uses for our spreadsheets: as a visual database
        browser, as a graphical user interface builder, as a smart
        clipboard for the desktop, and as a presentation tool.

Comment1: あんまり大したアイデアとも思えないが... 頑張ってちゃんと
        作ってはあるようである。
        Volume Renderingが専門のようだが、
        Stanfordの教授が自分でこういうシステムを作ってしまうとは凄い。
