A Search for a Computer Graphics System for the Small-scale Computer User

This paper presents a review of several computer graphics systems. The need for a universal graphics language is discussed and some typical languages are investigated. Several types of display terminals have been researched and their advantages and disadvantages have been listed. A vector plotting routine has been programmed on a microprocessor system as a part of the research. A description of the vector plotting system is included in this paper. The system could be a modular unit for general purpose use with any alphanumeric raster-scan display terminal and a simple graphics language
