Christian Corti, quoting me:
In that case, what was the terminal that drew text in line-draw font on
a big (4054-sized?) storage tube?
When Tony and I were at Cambridge, there was one in the user area.
Tony, do you remember what it was?
Philip.
(The 4014 and
4054, iirc, drew the characters in a line draw font,
which meant they could be scrolled or rotated. I don't have either...
yet)
The 4014 and 4015 draw characters like the 4006, 4010 and 4012. You can
address any valid point of the screen to display a character. A very
nice application for Tektronix terminals today is gnuplot ("set term
tek40xx").
