UCSB OnLine Graphics


   x'801'               TEKTRONIX terminals.  Models 4002-A
                        4010, and T-4002 have been tested
                        successfully.  Presumably all other
                        4002 compatible terminals will also work.

The primary problems that will be encountered by the network user
center about display formatting.  For historical reasons (i.e.  only
one type of terminal in house ) no means were included in the system
to facilitate terminal independent random positioning of alphanumeric
output.  Thus, a program which draws and labels a graph neatly on one
terminal might label like a kindergartener on other terminals.
Nevertheless, this problem can be minimized with careful programming
and efforts are underway to provide at least minimal alphanumeric
device independence.

Users interested in experimenting with online graphics should contact
John Pickens (805-961-3454), Glen Davis (805-961-2462), or Mark
Krilonovich (805-961-3454).  Suggestions and criticisms of all aspects
of the UCSB OnLine - Network User interface are desired.
