  abstract = {If there is to be widespread acceptance of computer generated
              images in areas traditionally served by graphic artists, these
              images must meet a high standard of quality. Document preparation
              systems are an application area that is gaining maturity in
              providing high-quality computer typeset documents. These systems
              exhibit a trend towards specifying the formatting information for
              a document separately from the body of the text. The goal is to
              have the document format designed by someone with expert knowledge
              of typography. Writers can then apply a format to their own work
              simply by indicating the semantic content of their text, such as
              the headings, paragraphs, or footnotes. The result is that a
              writer can produce properly typeset documents without learning the
              esthetics of typography. This paper extends this idea to encompass
              the illustrations in the text. We have developed a prototype
              system that uses a set of graphical style rules to define the
              design guidelines for the illustrations. The rules, called a
              graphical style sheet, can be used to control a uniform "look"
              over a set of illustrations, or to change the appearance of a
              particular illustration to reflect different publishing styles or
              different media. The prototype coordinates with an existing
              document preparation system and the combined systems were used to
              produce this paper. We conclude that this is a viable method for
              controlling image style for at least one class of illustrations.
              This approach contributes to image quality by providing a method
              for capturing knowledge of graphic arts standards, and for
              ensuring a consistent appearance of related illustrations within
              technical documentation.},
