GDDM (Graphical Data Display Manager) is a computer graphics system for the IBM System/370 which was developed in IBM's Hursley lab, and first released in 1979. GDDM was originally designed to provide programming support for the IBM 3279 colour display terminal and the associated 3287 colour printer. The 3279 was the first colour graphics terminal that could be used in a general business environment.

  • GDDM (Graphical Data Display Manager) is a computer graphics system for the IBM System/370 which was developed in IBM's Hursley lab, and first released in 1979. GDDM was originally designed to provide programming support for the IBM 3279 colour display terminal and the associated 3287 colour printer. The 3279 was the first colour graphics terminal that could be used in a general business environment. GDDM was extended in the early 1980s to provide graphics support for all of IBM's display terminals and printers, and ran on all of IBM's mainframe operating systems. GDDM also provided support for the (then current) international standards for interactive computer graphics: GKS and PHIGS. Both GKS and PHIGS were designed around the requirements of CAD systems. GDDM comprises a number of components: Graphics primitives - lines, circles, boxes etc. Graphing - through the Presentation Graphics Feature (PGF) Language support - PL/I, REXX, COBOL etc Conversion capabilities - for example to GIF format. GDDM remains in widespread use today, embedded in many z/OS applications, as well as in System programs.
  • GDDM (Graphical Data Display Manager) ist ein Computergrafiksystem für das System/370, das 1979 von IBM entwickelt wurde. GDDM wurde ursprünglich für den IBM-3279-Farbbildschirm und den Farbdrucker 3287 entwickelt. Der Farbbildschirm 3279 war der erste Farbbildschirm, der in Büros verwendet wurde. GDDM wurde in den frühen 1980er Jahren erweitert, um auf allen IBM-Bildschirmen und Druckern eingesetzt werden zu können. Ab 1986 wurde GDDM unter dem Namen IBM System/38 Business Graphics Utility (Program 5714-GP1) auch auf dem System/38 verwendbar.
