There is another package available from U. Alberta which displays Imagen output on a Sun workstation, using the entire display. I hacked it to work as a SunTool and have found it to be quite useful. You need to be able to write pixrects though, so if you're stuck with a vector only box, it's not going to work. The person to contact at U. Alberta is: ucbvax!lbl-csam!uw-beaver!ubc-vision!alberta!ted

I have a simple one for the 4110 instruction set. It runs on any of the following Tek terminals: 4105, 4107, 4109, 4112, 4113, and should run on a 4115. By simple I mean it uses the phototypsetter output from ditroff. Thus all characters are spaced according to its look up table. Character generation is done by the terminal. Thus special fonts are produced as their ascii equivallent. To show the change in font I change the color. My laser/photo output doesn't do that yet. Basically what my program 'tk' handles is: porpotional spacing based on ditroff defaults changes in character size font changes by switching color (naturally doesn't work to well on a 4112) and pic line drawing. I have the code written for circles and arcs but haven't had the time to implement it. Spline fits for pic will wait. The only special character I have is underline. Haven't found a need for any others. tk draws all pages as a retained segment (live with the error on a 4105). This then allows zoom and pan. Pages can be read without zooming with the -me default charater size if it is known what it should say. As it stands now it handles everything I need for my thesis. Output is very fast, especially if you have a 4107 or 4109 running at 38.4 kbaud. The program 'tc' has been written for a Tek 4014. It uses a different instruction set. It also requires the APL character font option. The terminal was then sold as a 4015. I'm sure Mark at Tektronix can tell us more.
