Newsgroups: net.text Subject: TeX on average crts. Message-ID: <3285@dartvax.UUCP> Date: Sun, 23-Jun-85 07:26:25 EDT Article-I.D.: dartvax.3285 Posted: Sun Jun 23 07:26:25 1985 Date-Received: Tue, 25-Jun-85 02:58:18 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH Lines: 11 I believe that TeX doesn't have graphics capability only because TUG, or some other body, hasn't agreed on a standard yet. Certainly the program can handle it. Also, although it is no doubt possible to write a format to generate output on CRTs, as Rusty Wright suggests, it would perhaps be simpler to write a dvi driver. For example, on Unix* systems, this would allow considerably simpler access to screen routines for the output, and a dvi2screen program can handle font changes as well as a format. dartvax!karl karl@dartmouth.csnet
