Includes bibliographical references (page 36)For any machine to be of any benefit to humans, it is\ud necessary for human and machine to interact in some manner. This\ud interaction, to be successful, must involve human???s senses. Among\ud the senses of sight, sound, touch, hearing, and smelling, sight is\ud the most powerful means of interaction. Vision is such a direct\ud and powerful method of communication and it comes of no surprise\ud that as technology advances, the use of graphics displays is\ud greatly exceeding all other methods of human-machine interfacing.\ud A graphics display communicates to human by written language. Therefore, this paper deals primarily with that communication medium; the character generator. In particular this\ud paper discusses the advantages of using a micro-processor to\ud control digital character generation for random scan displays.\ud Also discussed are the other parts of a graphics display system;\ud the vector generator, the X-Y registers, the Z-Axis, and the\ud display head. But the main emphasis is the design of the\ud character generator, due to its great impact on human-machine\ud interfacing
