Abstract
There is a growing demand for low cost computer graphics for the small scale computer user or for the user who would rather have easy access to a somewhat less sophisticated console than have very limited access (a few hours per day or even a week) to a more powerful but far more expensive device. The possibility of obtaining a work station with random positioning and vector capabilities as well as character writing speeds many times in excess of a teletype is very attractive. Such a work station maybe used both as a time-sharing terminal and as an I/O device for a small mini-computer, as well as for solving conventional graphics problems at an affordable price.
