 Sketchpad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sketchpad is considered to be the ancestor of modern computer-aided drafting (CAD) programs as well as a major breakthrough in the development of computer graphics in general.
Sketchpad was a revolutionary computer program written by Ivan Sutherland in 1963 in the course of his PhD thesis.
Sketchpad ran on the Lincoln TX-2 computer at MIT.

 Computer Laboratory - Technical Report UCAM-CL-TR-574
Since Sketchpad is able to accept topological information from a human being in a picture language perfectly natural to the human, it can be used as an input program for computation programs which require topological data, e.g., circuit simulators.
Sketchpad drawings are stored in the computer in a specially designed “ring” structure.
A Sketchpad user sketches directly on a computer display with a “light pen.” The light pen is used both to position parts of the drawing on the display and to point to them to change them.

 enGauge Resources—Classroom Resources (The Geometer's Sketchpad)
Sketchpad can be used on a single computer connected to an overhead projector for whole-class discussions, or on single computers, or in a computer lab for individual or small-group activities.
Sketchpad allows students to draw an object and explore its mathematical properties by dragging the object with the mouse.
Sketchpad makes innovative use of technology and helps students develop both mathematical literacy and fluency with technology.

 Information on Sketchpad
Sketchpad was the subject of Ivan E. Sutherland's 1963 MIT PhD thesis, which opened the field of computer graphics.
It also had some computer aided design features (e.g.

 Biography of Ivan Sutherland
Sketchpad was a unique program developed for the TX-2 computer, a unique computer in itself.
Starting with his Ph.D. thesis, Sketchpad, Sutherland has contributed numerous ideas to the study of Computer Graphics and Computer Interaction.
Sketchpad was able to do just this, creating highly precise drawings.

 VR Sketchpad
Abstract: This paper describes VR Sketchpad, a pen-based computing environment for inputting and locating 3D objects in a virtual world.
VR Sketchpad has then added many features and now supports not just direct one-to-one mapping of object translations but also the higher level complex figure configurations and substitutions (diagram meaning, as well as replacement object symbols).
This paper presents VR Sketchpad, a freehand drawing interface for rapidly generating three-dimensional geometry in VRML format by tracing diagrams on a transparent window over an image source.
